Foreign policy and Venezuela were central topics. Questions focused on how far the United States would go to remove Nicolás Maduro and whether a ground invasion could be ruled in or out. One participant declined to discuss military strategy, saying he would not rule in or out actions and that "his days are numbered." The same participant alleged POLITICO received $8 million from Obama to keep it afloat. A clarification noted POLITICO received no government grants or subsidies and that POLITICO Pro subscriptions were canceled as part of a government effort to trim spending. The exchange included assertions of transparency and refusals to disclose operational details.
