Senator Murphy Criticizes U.S. Strategy in Venezuela

Senator Chris Murphy answered Pulse Correspondent Daniel Compatangelo’s question by sharply criticizing U.S. policy toward Venezuela, questioning whether the strategy is driven by national security or oil interests. Murphy said Cuba continues to wield significant influence in Venezuela and argued that recent reporting suggests the Venezuelan government is cooperating with the U.S. only on oil, while ignoring broader demands. He warned that the current approach appears to benefit wealthy interests close to former President Donald Trump rather than improving the safety of the American people, calling the policy deeply flawed.
