The president and first lady will meet with military families and with members of the special forces who were involved in Operation Absolute Resolve, in which the Venezuelan dictator, Nicolas Maduro, was captured. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "I know the president and first lady are both greatly looking forward to this visit." The previous administration had increased the bounty on Maduro for drug trafficking just before President Trump began his second term. The Departments of State and Justice then doubled that bounty last summer, and then the U.S. military coordinated the operation that apprehended him. |
