Hakeem Jeffries Mocks Trump Over His Raid In Venezuela, Question Him On His Claim Of Running Venezuela

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized President Donald Trump’s comments about running Venezuela following the capture and indictment of Nicolás Maduro. Jeffries called Maduro a “criminal and authoritarian dictator,” but questioned whether Venezuela would be better off under Trump’s leadership, citing rising costs of living, healthcare challenges, and unmet domestic promises in the United States. The remarks highlight a growing political divide over U.S. foreign policy, accountability, and priorities at home.
