Trump is Sleepwalking America into a WAR with Venezuela

Published | Video Starts at 06:02

Let me just say that this administration's own Drug Enforcement Administration reports fentanyl is overwhelmingly produced in other countries using chemicals that come from elsewhere in the world. Venezuela isn't listed as a fentanyl source or transit country in any edition of the National Drug Threat Assessment. More fentanyl comes from China and Mexico than Venezuela. Maybe the chairman wants to go to war with China and Mexico. (06:02–06:11)
