I'm the Foreign Relations lead Democrat on the Committee of the Americas. I think treating this as a military intervention is a big mistake. You saw yesterday that Our closest ally, the United Kingdom, has now stopped sharing intelligence with the US on activities in the Caribbean and Pacific near the Americas because they believe the US Strikes are violating international law. And when you amass such naval presence near Venezuela, you are dramatically raising the risk that Venezuela will, you know, pick up something on the radio or see a move and think they're going to be under attack and then respond in kind.

CLAIM

Asserts that the UK stopped sharing intelligence with the US due to concerns about international law violations.
