President Trump’s decisive action in Venezuela, carried out by brave members of our world-class fighting force, made the United States and the entire world safer. Let’s not forget: The criminal illegal alien who killed Laken Riley right here in the state of Georgia was from Venezuela, and Maduro intentionally sent gangs, criminals, and drugs into our country to kill our citizens.
Georgia parents should sleep more peacefully at night knowing that the Venezuelan drug trade has been ended and can no longer harm innocent American children.
I took to the media this week to discuss this administration’s peace through strength agenda and how we at home are directly benefiting from President Trump fulfilling his promises to make our country safer and more prosperous.
In case you missed it, here are the highlights:
