Bill > S3595

This bill, titled the "No War with Venezuela Act of 2026," aims to prevent the United States from engaging in military actions or occupations in Venezuela without explicit approval from Congress. Specifically, it prohibits the use of federal funds to deploy U.S. military or intelligence personnel for purposes such as conducting military operations against Venezuela's government or people, assisting in U.S. law enforcement operations like arrests of indicted individuals, occupying Venezuela or administering its governance, or providing security for private companies, particularly oil companies. The bill also bars funding for any other activities not explicitly authorized by Congress. However, there are exceptions, allowing for defense against attacks on U.S. personnel or facilities abroad, intelligence gathering and sharing for various purposes including counterintelligence, ensuring the security of U.S. diplomatic missions, securing the return of wrongfully detained U.S. nationals, disrupting illicit narcotics originating from Venezuela, and countering the influence of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea in Venezuela and surrounding regions.
