• Trump declares his "own morality" as the sole limit to his global military powers.
• He states, "I don’t need international law," while acknowledging some need to adhere to it.
• The remarks come amid aggressive military actions, including operations in Venezuela.
• Trump expresses interest in acquiring Greenland as a symbol of success.
• Congress is seeking to limit Trump's presidential military actions.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, President Donald Trump asserted that his "own morality" is the only factor that could potentially limit his global military powers. He emphatically stated, "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me." He dismissed the necessity of international law, claiming, "I don’t need international law. I’m not looking to hurt people," but later qualified his remarks by stating that international law depends on one's interpretation of it, indicating a complex stance on governance and international relations, according to aa and abcnews.

These statements come shortly after the U.S. initiated a significant military operation targeting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, raising heightened concerns within the international community. Trump’s comments reflect an aggressive military posture, as he has threatened multiple nations in conjunction with this operation. His administration recently directed increased focus on potential acquisition of Greenland, with Trump declaring that such ownership is "what I feel is psychologically needed for success," according to channelnewsasia and indiatimes.

Trump's remarks have sparked discussions about his approach to military engagement, especially as Congress, including some Republican members, moves to restrict his executive military powers, particularly concerning actions in Venezuela. A measure aimed to limit these presidential powers has gained traction in the Senate, although Trump is likely to veto any such legislation that reaches his desk, according to aa and abcnews.
