With respect to Venezuela, the Trump administration,

led by Secretary Rubio, the Vice President,

and the President's entire national security

team, is in close correspondence with the interim

authorities in Venezuela. We obviously have

maximum leverage over the interim authorities

in Venezuela right now, and the President has

made it very clear that this is a country within

the United States, uh, the Western Hemisphere,

close by the United States, that is no longer

going to be sending illegal drugs to the United

States of America. It's no longer going to be

sending and trafficking illegal people and criminal

cartels to kill American citizens as they have

in the past. Uh, and the President is fully

deploying his peace through strength foreign

policy agenda. Uh, so we're continuing to be

in close coordination with the interim authorities,

uh, and their decisions, um, are going to continue

to be dictated by the United States of America.
