Schmitt Says Venezuela Operation Brings Stability

Senator Eric Schmitt defended the U.S. operation in Venezuela, saying it was a deliberate and successful mission that removed what he called an illegitimate communist dictator without any American casualties. Schmitt argued the operation created stability through continuity of government, giving Venezuelans the opportunity to shape their own political future. He also said the action improves U.S. security by limiting the influence of foreign adversaries in the region.
