Quote:Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) backed U.S. military intervention in Venezuela on Monday, arguing President Nicolás Maduro knows the U.S. is about to “go in,” resulting in a “field day” for American oil companies.
Salazar called Maduro “the head of a terrorist organization” on Fox Business the same day that the Trump administration designated Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist group. This puts Maduro “right in the crosshairs — we can take him out and extradite him,” she said.
“So now that he has understood that he’s on that very nefarious list of the terrorist organization, that the airspace above Venezuela has been closed off, and the commercial airlines from the United States are not flying, he’s understanding that we’re about to go in,” she told Fox host David Asman.
“He understands that he is — he has been our enemy for the last 25 years,” Salazar continued. “Venezuela, for those Americans who do not understand why we need to go in, for three – basically, for three reasons.”
The first reason, Salazar said, was that Venezuela’s oil production would offer “a field day” for U.S. oil companies.
“American companies can go in and fix all the oil pipe — the whole oil rigs and everything that has to do with the Venezuelan petroleum companies, or everything that has to do with oil and the derivatives,” Salazar said.
She next said Venezuela has been a “launching pad” for Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Cuba and other countries and terrorist groups that want to “do harm to us and our young Americans.” Thirdly, Salazar claimed Maduro was the leader of the Cartel de los Soles.

But as tensions ramp up, most Americans say they do not want to see military action in Venezuela. A recent CBS News/YouGov shows that 70 percent said they were against “the U.S. taking military action in Venezuela,” while 30 percent said they were for it.
