Tuberville, Scott Introduce Resolution Celebrating Trump Admin’s Successful Operation in Venezuela

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in introducing a resolution commending the United States military for its recent action in Venezuela with the arrest of indicted narco-terrorist dictator Nicolás Maduro. The resolution praises the operation's precision and the Trump administration's leadership in the fight for a more free and secure Western Hemisphere-paving the way for a democratic Venezuela.

"Nicolás Maduro is the leader of a terrorist gang and has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans through illegal drugs," said Sen. Tuberville. "Thank you to the brave service members who have apprehended this criminal and sacrifice every day to keep America safe. This is what AMERICA FIRST national security looks like. Let this be a warning to anyone who threatens our country."

"This decisive mission demonstrated American strength and resolve, arrested an indicted narco-terrorist who has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, and sent a clear message that the United States will no longer tolerate criminal regimes that endanger American families, especially in our hemisphere," said Sen. Scott. "A Latin America free of socialist and communist rule is in the best interest of the United States, and that's why for years, I have fought alongside the people of Venezuela to restore their God-given freedom and liberty. It's incredible to see the community come together with such gracious excitement for the future of their nation. Thank you, President Trump, Secretary Rubio, and Secretary Hegseth, for fighting for the Venezuelan people. I am proud to stand with them and all of Latin America in celebrating this incredible occasion."

Sens. Tuberville and Scott were joined by Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Britt (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Curtis (R-UT), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Mike Rounds (R-SD), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO) in introducing the resolution.
