Former President Donald Trump recently suggested that American news anchors join him in moving to Caracas, Venezuela, claiming it would be safer than staying in many cities in the United States. The remarks, made during a Newsmax interview, have sparked controversy and raised questions about their accuracy.

In the interview, Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of "destroying our country" by allowing "criminals to come in from other countries into the United States of America." He then invited the anchors to join him on a trip to Venezuela's capital, saying, "Someday the three of us will have to go [to Caracas]—let's bring your husband with us also—and we'll go to Caracas because it will be safer than any place in our country."
