BREAKING ๐บ๐ธโก๐ป๐ช : Trump just ordered "A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela."
This is an ACT of WAR according to international Law:
Declaring a blockade without Congress would be an illegal initiation of hostilities.
A president cannot legally start a blockade of another country on their own without:
- A formal Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), or
- A declaration of war
Neither exists for Venezuela.
