Dem-NPL Statement on Trump Admin’s illegal military ops in Venezuela

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
January 3, 2026

FARGO – Today, the Trump Administration conducted illegal and unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela.

North Dakota Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn said, “This clearly isn’t about stemming the flow of drugs. Just last month, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who conspired with some of the worst drug traffickers in the world to bring more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. This is about enriching oil corporations and billionaires.

Health insurance has become completely unaffordable for millions of Americans. Our farmers suffered all season, and still face great uncertainty. We’re on the precipice of a recession. Instead of working make life better for Americans, he’s playing kingmaker in Venezuela.”
