U.S. Vice President, J.D. Vance, after the U.S. operation in Venezuela: "The President offered him several exit options, but he was very clear throughout this process: drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States."

J.D. Vance shared on social media platform X a message from Truth Social in which Donald Trump announces the strikes in Venezuela and the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, emphasizing that the operation is legal. Vance praised the courage of the involved soldiers and explained that Maduro, accused of narco-terrorism, cannot escape justice.

Additionally, the U.S. Vice President dismissed criticisms regarding the legality of the intervention, stating that drug trafficking must cease. Democratic senators condemned the attacks, warning that they are illegal and that the country has shifted from being the "policeman of the world" to being the "aggressor of the world."
