"You know, the president himself has said over and over again, no more wars, that he wants to be the president of peace, that believes that the United States should not be the world police. And now he's invaded Venezuela and says that Americans will run Venezuela for a while until an interim government can be put in place. How is this America first? she asked."
"Look, it's America first because Venezuela is not a friend of the United States. Venezuela harbors our greatest geopolitical enemies, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea. They've established a foothold in Venezuela, and [Maduro] makes it no secret that he's aligned with them, Gimenez said. The congressman argued Maduro is was a fugitive and the United States had every right to capture him. Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier described the mission as law enforcement-driven rather than military-driven."
President Donald Trump's administration conducted massive strikes on Caracas and captured disputed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who were transported to New York to face narco-terrorism charges. The United States had not recognized Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate leader after a contested election. Gimenez celebrated Maduro's removal, argued the United States had every right to capture him, and framed U.S. control as 'America first' because Venezuela harbors geopolitical adversaries including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the mission as law enforcement-driven rather than military-driven.
