Former US Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump's actions regarding the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, asserting the operation was driven by oil interests rather than democracy or drug concerns. Harris argued that such forced regime change efforts are unlawful, unwise, and could destabilize the region, potentially endangering American troops and families. She accused Trump of pursuing oil deals and playing the role of a regional strongman, suggesting his actions do not enhance U.S. safety or affordability.
