WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the below statement as President Trump visits the U.S. Southern Command in Doral to review the advance of a counter-narcotics operation in the Caribbean.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I applaud President Trump’s efforts to curb the trafficking of drugs into our country and for focusing on this operation, which is critical to cutting funds to the Maduro regime. I’ve encouraged the Trump Administration to do everything in its power to hold Maduro accountable for his crimes in Venezuela, and they have taken historic action. The fight is not over, and the United States continues to stand with those fighting for freedom in Venezuela and throughout Latin America.”
