Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said he does not believe President Trump will authorize a deployment of U.S. forces inside Venezuela despite rising tensions between Washington and Caracas and an expanding U.S. military operation targeting alleged narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean.
"He's made it very clear we're not going to put troops into Venezuela," Mullin told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "What we're trying to do is protect our own shores."
