Mark Warner used interviews on "Face the Nation" and "This Week" to denounce Donald Trump’s Venezuela policy, arguing that boat strikes and potential troop deployments lack clear legal and strategic justification. He urged the administration to release video of the September 2 Caribbean strike, the execution order, legal opinions and after-action report, while also warning that broader foreign policy choices, from Syria to healthcare at home, demand transparent objectives and urgent fixes.Mark Warner framed
Nicolás Maduro as a dangerous leader but said equating drug cargo with weapons stretches the law, insisting that once war crime accusations are made they cannot be retracted and that
Congress and the public must see the evidence. He praised
María Corina Machado, backed extending healthcare subsidies and protecting people with pre-existing conditions, and cautioned that rushing into regime-change style operations in
Venezuela without a defined strategy risks American lives, undermines morale and damages global perceptions of the United States.
