Georgia leaders split over U.S. military action in Venezuela
Georgia’s political leaders are weighing in after President Donald Trump announced U.S. military strikes targeting Venezuela, drawing a range of responses across party lines.
According to reporting by WGAU Radio, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock criticized the military action while also condemning Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a dictator. In a statement, Warnock said Americans do not want U.S. troops pulled into another prolonged conflict or involved in overthrowing foreign governments.
Warnock added that he was relieved no U.S. service members were killed in the operation, but said the Trump administration must provide clear justification for the strike. He also called on Congress to reassert its constitutional authority over matters of war and military engagement.
Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also condemned the operation. In a post on X, Greene questioned the stated rationale for the strikes, suggesting the action was driven more by oil interests than by efforts to combat drug trafficking. She described the move as an attempt to exert control over Venezuela’s oil resources and said Americans are “disgusted” by what she characterized as endless military intervention abroad.
WGAU Radio reported that other Georgia Republicans voiced support for the action. U.S. Rep. Mike Collins praised the operation in a post on X, celebrating what he described as the arrest of Maduro. Collins labeled the Venezuelan leader a “narco-terrorist” and blamed him for contributing to drug trafficking and violence affecting the United States.
