Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he prevented “dangerous things” from happening during the time President Donald Trump was in office, including military intervention in Venezuela and a blockade of Cuba.
“At various times, certainly during the last year of the administration folks in the White House were proposing to take military action against Venezuela, to strike Iran,” Esper said in an interview on CBS’ "60 Minutes" on Sunday about his forthcoming memoir, “A Sacred Oath.”
At some point, he said, “somebody proposed we blockade Cuba.”
