Former Vice President Criticizes Trump’s Actions in Venezuela
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has spoken out against the recent capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by the Trump administration. While acknowledging Maduro’s harsh rule, Harris questioned the legality and wisdom of the operation.
In a statement, Harris suggested that President Trump’s actions might be driven by interests in Venezuelan oil, rather than a genuine concern for democracy or fighting drug trafficking. She argued that such actions could lead to unintended consequences, potentially destabilizing the region and putting American troops at risk, without a clear plan for success.
Harris emphasized the importance of putting the American people first, focusing on lowering costs for families, upholding the law, and strengthening ties with allies. Her comments come as the Trump administration asserts its role in guiding Venezuela towards a “safe, proper, and judicious transition.”
