Caribbean-American Democratic Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke on Saturday strongly condemned what she described as President Donald Trump’s “unauthorized” military strikes in Venezuela and the military’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn, New York, told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that Trump acted without congressional authorization in conducting military strikes in Venezuela, and forcefully and unilaterally causing “regime change by seizing President Nicolás Maduro.
“In a brazen affront to the rule of law and the US Constitution and without any rational consideration of the grave consequences that will inevitably follow, in the dead of night, Donald Trump has plunged the United States into yet another dangerous foreign entanglement by unleashing direct military strikes upon Venezuela’s capital and capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife,” said Clarke, who also chairs the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
