Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, blasted President Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela and removal of its leader, President Nicolás Maduro, describing it as a sharp departure from his "America first" campaign promise.
Greene, who earlier this year had a public falling out with Trump, criticized the military move as unaligned with Trump’s vow during the 2024 presidential election to end the United States' involvement in foreign conflicts.
While Greene said she didn’t support Maduro’s leadership and was "happy" for the people of Venezuela, she expressed doubt that Maduro’s capture was related to narco-terrorism and the flow of drugs, as Trump has suggested.

Speaking to NBC’s "Meet the Press," Greene argued that if Trump cared about drug trafficking, he’d be focusing on other entities, including Mexican cartels.
