House Speaker Johnson after US military action in Venezuela

 Trump administration is working to schedule briefings for members as Congress returns to Washington next week

Speaker Mike Johnson

@SpeakerJohnson

I have spoken in the last several hours with

@SecRubio

and

@SecWar

Hegseth, and the nation will hear from

@POTUS

in his address at 11am ET. Today’s military action in Venezuela was a decisive and justified operation that will protect American lives. Nicolas Maduro is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans after years of trafficking illegal drugs and violent cartel members into our country — crimes for which he’s been properly indicted in U.S. courts and an arrest warrant duly issued — and today he learned what accountability looks like. President Trump is putting American lives first, succeeding where others have failed, and under his leadership the United States will no longer allow criminal regimes to profit from wreaking havoc and destruction on our country. The Trump Administration is working to schedule briefings for Members as Congress returns to Washington next week. Our brave military personnel who executed a precise, successful operation deserve our gratitude and congratulations.
