Rome, 4 January (LaPresse) – Donald Trump's actions in Venezuela do not make America safer or stronger. The fact that Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was illegal and reckless. We have seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil passed off as force, but which turn into chaos, and American families pay the price." This was written on X by former US Vice President Kamala Harris, who was defeated by Donald Trump in the last presidential election. ‘This is not about drugs or democracy. It's about oil and Donald Trump's desire to play the strongman in the region,’ she added. According to Harris, "if he cared about either, he would not pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline the legitimate Venezuelan opposition to make deals with Maduro's friends. The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilising a region and offering no legal authority, no exit plan and no domestic benefit.‘ ’America needs leadership whose priorities are to reduce costs for working families, uphold the rule of law, strengthen alliances and, above all, put the American people first," she concluded.
