The White House didn’t rule out the possibility of U.S. soldiers on the ground in Venezuela after reports that three U.S. Aegis guided-missile destroyers have been deployed to waters off the country.
A reporter asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday whether the administration was “looking at possible native boots on the ground.”
“With respect to Venezuela, President Trump has been very clear and consistent. He’s prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice,” Leavitt told reporters.
