"Should a strike occur, we will force a debate in Congress and force a vote to prevent U.S. troops from being in hostilities against Venezuela," Schumer, a New York Democrat, said. "Our troops' safety and our national security are at stake."

"All it takes is one lapse in judgment from either side, and suddenly our troops could find themselves in an armed conflict with Venezuela," Schumer said.

"This man is a national embarrassment," Schumer said of Hegseth, who has faced the most scrutiny over the September strike for authorizing the operation that killed survivors on the vessel that had been struck in the Caribbean.

Last week, Schumer issued a similar warning about Trump's actions toward Venezuela. He wrote in an X post: "President Trump’s reckless actions towards Venezuela are pushing America closer and closer to another costly foreign war. Under our Constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war — not the President — and Congress has not authorized the use of military force against Venezuela."
