Trump's Venezuela Strike: A Shocking MAGA Foreign Policy U-Turn

  • President Trump ordered an attack on Venezuela, aiming to arrest President Nicolas Maduro and temporarily run the country, a stark contrast to his "America First" non-interventionist rhetoric.
  • The plan includes potential military action, "boots on the ground," and ongoing involvement in Venezuela's politics and oil industry.
  • Trump justified the intervention as part of his "America First" policy, citing stability and access to Venezuela's oil reserves.
  • The move has drawn criticism from both Republicans (like Marjorie Taylor Greene) and Democrats (Chuck Schumer) for its recklessness and inconsistency.
  • Experts warn of a potential "quagmire" and long-term U.S. entanglement, drawing parallels to past interventions in Grenada and Panama.

Why It Matters: Trump's aggressive Venezuela intervention marks a significant shift from his non-interventionist foreign policy stance.
