Congresswoman Schrier's Statement on the Trump Administration's Military Operation in Venezuela

Today, Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08), released the following statement on the Trump Administration's Military Operation in Venezuela. 

"While Maduro is an illegitimate and dangerous dictator who has made life terrible for Venezuelans, President Trump should not be dragging us into another foreign conflict without consultation and consent from Congress. After promising no new wars, he launched a large-scale military strike in Venezuela with plans for the U.S. to take over control of the country, and put American troops in harm’s way.

"The American people deserve answers, especially at a time when the president should be focused on running our own country and making life better for Americans. 

"​The Administration must brief Congress and answer multiple remaining and pressing questions."
