Jeffries Condemns Trump's Actions
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) harshly criticized President Trump's recent military action in Venezuela, labeling it an unprecedented violation of international norms.
Legal Justifications Questioned
During a press conference at the Capitol, Jeffries emphasized that the raid, which occurred on January 2, was executed without legal authorization or meaningful practical justification.
- Legal grounds absent for military action
- Serious implications for international relations
- Security risks for U.S. citizens
Impacts on Oil Companies
The incursion's repercussions extend far beyond diplomacy. Jeffries asserts that targeting Venezuela's oil industry raises pressing questions about how such actions benefit oil companies involved in the region.
