Venezuela Is Still Carrying Out Chavez’s Strategy to Poison America, but Trump Can Stop It | The Heritage Foundation

Venezuela Is Still Carrying Out Chavez’s Strategy to Poison America, but Trump Can Stop It | The Heritage Foundation:

It was Hugo Chavez, Maduro's predecessor and mentor, who set Venezuela on the road to ruin almost two decades ago. We have also learned that, as part of that journey, Chavez initiated a campaign to flood the United States with cocaine. That’s just one more reason why the Trump administration must keep pressing to rid the Western Hemisphere of Chavismo.
U.S. federal prosecutors have claimed that, shortly before his death from cancer, Chavez directed his top lieutenants to work in tandem with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to weaken the U.S. via an epidemic of drugs. With Chavez’s backing, the guerillas became a major producer of hard drugs, distributing them to Latin American cartels and splitting the profits with el presidente and his cronies.
