President Donald Trump is seriously considering expanding his military action in Venezuela from the sea to the land, and it looks like his ultimate goal is to see the exit of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who he calls a “narco-terrorist.” This big news comes straight from Senator Lindsey Graham, who confirmed that Trump is ready for Maduro’s fall and plans to brief Congress on what he calls his crusade against drugs after he gets back from his trip to Asia this week.
It feels like we’ve crossed a major line here; this is an all-out escalation in our own backyard, and the administration is barely even pretending it’s not about regime change anymore. Graham, a staunch Trump ally, sounds incredibly enthusiastic about this push, and he’s not even trying to hide what’s coming next.
