Senator Jack Reed criticizes President Trump's unilateral declaration of armed conflict in the Caribbean and lack of congressional authorization.
Quiver AI Summary
On October 3, 2025, President Trump authorized a lethal strike in the Caribbean, marking the fourth such action this month, which has resulted in a total of 21 casualties. This follows his unilateral declaration of an "armed conflict" with unnamed non-state groups in Central and South America, undertaken without Congressional consent.
Senator Jack Reed, the Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, expressed alarm over the President's actions, stating, “Every American should be alarmed that the President believes he can wage secret wars,” emphasizing the constitutional requirement for Congressional authorization of military actions. Reed called for transparency and accountability from the Trump Administration regarding this military campaign.
He noted the urgent need for comprehensive law enforcement resources to combat drug cartels but criticized the lack of legal justification for the strikes, arguing, “President Trump’s declaration of ‘armed conflict’ is a dangerous overreach of executive power,” and insisted the Administration must provide answers to Congress and the public.
