Sen. Duff Statement on Military Action in Venezuela

HARTFORD – Today, Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) released the following statement in response to the military action in Venezuela.

“President Trump never laid out the need or the plan to the American people or Congress before attacking a sovereign nation and putting the lives of the men and women of our military at risk. This is an unpopular and illegal attack motivated by the vanity of a President focused on TV ratings instead of exploding prices here at home.

“Trump has been playing pretend strong man by going on a bombing spree around the world after campaigning on ending wars and putting America first. He’s done the exact opposite, making America weaker. No matter how many military actions he takes, Trump can’t deflect from his failed policies of higher prices and a country that is less affordable today than in 2024.”
