Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Trump’s Venezuela Military Operation

Outlets agree that a U.S. operation in Venezuela captured Nicolás Maduro and that Greene criticized it, arguing it broke with Trump’s anti-interventionist or America First promises. Left-leaning outlets frame the operation as a betrayal of anti-interventionist promises, with the discussion also centering oil and corruption. Center outlets mostly report Greene’s objections to intervention and America First priorities, while some include defenses of the operation.
