By Danielle
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in an interview with Andrew Napolitano that a member of Congress told him lawmakers were briefed that President Trump would announce “a war is coming” during his national address Wednesday night.
“Is Trump going to start a war in Venezuela?” Napolitano asked Carlson.
“Here’s what I know so far, which is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and it’ll be announced in the address to the nation tonight at nine o’clock by the president,” Carlson said.
“Who knows, by the way, if that’ll actually happen. I don’t know, and I never want to overstate what I know, which is pretty limited in general,” he continued.

Mediaite shared further:
Carlson is opposed to military action in Venezuela, arguing it would be repeating foreign policy mistakes of the past.
“There’s not been a regime change effort that’s benefitted the United States or the world in 80 years that I’m aware of,” he said.
Trump has repeatedly accused Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of being at the head of a narco terrorist smuggling operation. Maduro’s election victory has long been contested, with U.S. and global officials casting doubt on the results.
“The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump announced this week.
