Key Facts

The resolution was rejected in a 51-50 vote.

After pressure from Trump, Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Todd Young, R-Ind., voted against the resolution after initially supporting it.

Trump earlier this week blasted Hawley, Young and Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., for supporting the legislation, saying all five “should never be elected to office again.”

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Wednesday following the resolution’s dismissal, “The White House put a full-court press unlike any I’ve seen in 13 years here to stop a public debate about a war.”

Crucial Quote

“After numerous conversations with senior national security officials, I have received assurances that there are no American troops in Venezuela,” Young said in a statement. “I’ve also received a commitment that if President Trump were to determine American forces are needed in major military operations in Venezuela, the Administration will come to Congress in advance to ask for an authorization of force.”

What To Watch For

Secretary of State Marco Rubio will provide an update on Venezuela to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to Young.

Key Background

Kaine sponsored the resolution with backing from Republicans after a U.S. military operation on Jan. 3 involving over 150 aircraft resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Both the Venezuelan president and his wife were arraigned in New York following the capture, pleading not guilty to their charges in the U.S. related to allegations of narcoterrorism. Their next court date is scheduled for March 17. The Trump administration characterized the operation as a ”joint military and law enforcement mission,” with Vance citing Maduro’s U.S. indictments for narcoterrorism. The Trump administration has hinted at similar intervention in countries like Colombia and Cuba, though Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who recently taunted Trump, will meet with the U.S. president in February.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
