Senator Lindsey Graham, appearing on Fox News’ Hannity, commented on the ongoing transition in Venezuela following recent developments involving the country’s leadership.
In the interview, Graham described the situation as “very good for America, very good for the Venezuelan people.” He stated, “Who’s in charge of Venezuela? Donald J. Trump.”
Graham explained that individuals from the previous regime are assisting in the process. He emphasized that the approach avoids deploying a large number of U.S. troops on the ground, noting, “We don’t want to put a bunch of troops on the ground so we got people from the old regime helping us rebuild the country, to transition to democratic elections.”
He further elaborated that there will be a regime change in Venezuela “through the ballot box,” but reiterated, “who’s in charge of Venezuela? Donald J. Trump.”
Graham added a warning, saying, “If you defy him, if you are one…” — implying consequences similar to those faced by former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
