"Leavitt started off by saying there is not another president in the world in our nation's history who had the courage to authorize such a mission. She also gave kudos to the military for pulling the operation off. She then said Rodriguez was the one in charge in Venezuela with the U.S. closely monitoring her moves. I think the world has taken notice that America is truly back."
"We obviously have maximum leverage over the interim authorities in Venezuela right now. Leavitt smirked and nodded at Scott as she delivered that final line. Leavitt argued Trump was fully deploying his peace-through-strength foreign policy agenda by booting Maduro. Leavitt said that move will make America safer because it cuts off a major supplier of illegal drugs being pumped into the U.S."
Karoline Leavitt held her first press briefing since Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown to New York on narco-terrorism charges, asserting that the United States and President Trump hold maximum leverage over Venezuela. President Trump said the U.S. would run Venezuela for the time being. Interim president Delcy Rodriguez insisted that Venezuela governs itself, stating, "There is no external agent governing Venezuela." Leavitt praised the president's courage and the military operation, said Rodriguez currently leads Venezuela while the U.S. monitors her moves, and framed the operation as peace-through-strength that cuts off a major illegal drug supplier to the U.S.
