House Speaker Mike Johnson Defends Precision US Operation Capturing Maduro on Narco-Terror Charges

House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to President Donald Trump’s strikes on Venezuela, saying the operation was constitutional and did not require advance authorization from Congress. Johnson said the president acted within his Article II authority, emphasized that congressional leaders were notified, and praised the U.S. military for conducting the mission with “exquisite intelligence and extreme precision” and without American casualties. According to Johnson, administration officials have remained in constant contact with both House and Senate members as required, and the action has made Americans safer.
