"MANU RAJU: How much does it cost American taxpayers, American, how much, how long to the American public? SEC. MARCO RUBIO: It doesn't, it doesn't costs us. MANU RAJU: The involvement, the U.S. Involvement in Venezuela. How much will it cost? SEC. MARCO RUBIO: Well, it's not going to cost us any money. For example, this oil deal that's happening doesn't cause us any money. On the contrary. And if it opens up."
Pete Hegseth lashed out at CNN correspondent Manu Raju after Raju asked about the cost of U.S. involvement in Venezuela. Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio prepared to brief lawmakers on U.S. operations following a strike and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. Raju pressed repeatedly about the price tag and duration for American taxpayers. Rubio maintained the operations would not cost U.S. taxpayers, citing oil deals and redeployment of forces already active worldwide. Rubio described naval assets operating across the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Indo-Pacific and argued those ships would conduct other missions if not in the Caribbean.
