That's the ultimate threat here, the drug cartels, and the use of different cartels to funnel drugs into the U.S., thereby making a case against these leaders, Baier said before telling the story of his proposed interview with Maduro."
"I will tell you something here that I was not going to say We were contacted through intermediaries to have potentially an interview with Nicolas Maduro in recent weeks. We were in the process of having back-channel communications. They wanted me to come to Caracas. It was not feasible; they couldn't make a decision. He was worried about security. I was talking to the US about the possibilities, then this came to pass."
U.S. forces conducted airstrikes in Caracas and apprehended Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who are reportedly en route to New York to face narcotics trafficking charges. President Donald Trump described the strikes during a nearly 30-minute Fox News interview and framed the operation as targeting drug trafficking into the United States. Fox News anchor Bret Baier said he had been arranging a potential interview with Maduro via intermediaries but logistical and security concerns prevented travel to Caracas. Baier suggested regional leaders must be wary of connections between governments and drug cartels and noted Maduro appeared to anticipate the operation.
