Tue Jan 06 02:10:00 UTC 2026: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) criticized the Trump administration’s actions regarding Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, stating it contradicted the “America First” agenda. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Greene argued the operation was part of a Washington “playbook” that doesn’t serve Americans. She emphasized prioritizing domestic policies, including jobs, housing, and healthcare. Greene said, “Our neighborhood is right here in the 50 United States, not in the Southern Hemisphere.” Her comments follow debates among lawmakers regarding the Maduro situation, with opinions largely divided along party lines. Trump, responding to questions about the operation’s alignment with his “America First” agenda, stated the U.S. needs Venezuelan energy resources and seeks stability in the region. Greene, who publicly opposed the action on Saturday, expressed disappointment that Trump’s policies have involved “never-ending military aggression”. Greene, whose last day in Congress is Monday after resigning in November, has repeatedly voiced concerns that Trump hasn’t focused sufficiently on domestic policy.
