Americans are split on their view of the U.S. military action President Donald Trump took to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro for trafficking illicit drugs and deadly substances into the United States. Between 33 and 40 percent of the American people believe the move was justified according to polls, while the rest oppose the move or are unsure.
Despite uncertainties about the military’s actions to capture Maduro, Americans largely support President Trumps’s move to bring Maduro to justice in New York City for narcotics crimes against the United States according to a new survey. About half the country believes the United States should put Maduro on trial for drug trafficking now that he has been brought to Manhattan.
The Washington Post released a survey on Jan. 5 showing 40 percent of Americans support President Trump’s move to send U.S. forces into Venezuela to capture Maduro, while 42 percent disapprove, and 18 percent are undecided. The Post found 74 percent of Republicans, as well as 34 percent of independents and 13 percent of Democrats support the move to capture Maduro.
