Shaheen Warns of Venezuela Military Buildup Risks

Senator Jeanne Shaheen expresses concerns about the U.S.s growing military presence near Venezuela, warning it could divert resources from other critical areas and leave American forces less prepared for global crises. She questions the White Houses strategy against Nicolás Maduro, stating the administration lacks a clear end game for increased operations. Shaheen argues against escalating towards potential land operations, citing risks to American troops and strained naval resources. The USS Gerald R. Ford strike group has been deployed to the Caribbean to disrupt narcotics trafficking, adding to the significant U.S. naval presence in the region. Shaheen strongly criticizes reports of President Trumps willingness to consider land strikes in or around Venezuela, stating it puts other parts of the world and Americans at risk.
