🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪🇨🇳 SEN. SCHMITT: MADURO’S ARREST WAS A MESSAGE TO CHINA
Schmitt says Trump’s move against Maduro wasn’t just about Venezuela, it was a strategic signal to Beijing.
He claims Chinese diplomats were inside Venezuela during the operation, underscoring U.S. intelligence reach and deterrence.
Schmitt frames it as a warning that the Western Hemisphere is not open to CCP expansion.
“Trump didn’t just arrest Maduro. He sent a message to China.
If you don’t think China noticed that we were able to do this under the cover of darkness without them knowing anything about it, that’s a very important point for deterrence.
The U.S. has a very important interest in the Western Hemisphere: that Venezuela isn’t the playground for the CCP.”
