"But I think America needs to ask themselves, do we want to perpetrate regime change in the region? Donald Trump is trying to convince Americans that this is about fighting drugs, and this is because Maduro released crazy people opened up the jails and the insane asylums and sent people here. That second part is flat-out lies. There is no evidence of that."
"On the drug aspect, very little of the drugs that go through Venezuela actually come to the United States. That is not the preferred path for drug dealers. The preferred path actually goes through the pacific coast, through Central America. Navarro then pointed out the hypocrisy of Trump's recent pardon of former Honduran president, Orlando Hernandez, who actually is in U.S. prison right now with a 45-year sentence for having flooded the streets of the United States with cocaine for decades and decades."
Claims that fentanyl has been coming into the United States through Venezuela lack supporting evidence. Very little of the drugs that transit Venezuela actually reach the United States. The preferred trafficking route to the United States runs along the Pacific coast through Central America. Assertions that Venezuela released prisoners or the mentally ill to send people to the United States are false and unsupported. A recent presidential pardon of former Honduran president Orlando Hernandez contradicts claims of a drug-fighting motive, given his 45-year sentence for flooding U.S. streets with cocaine. A presidential phone call with Maduro occurred, and reports indicate safe passage was guaranteed.
