Hegseth says US military power, on display with tanker seizures, 'will continue'

 

Defence Secretary Peter Hegseth also just chimed in behind Rubio – describing the US action in Venezuela as “one of the most historic military operations the world has ever seen”, and referencing the overnight seizures of the two tankers.

 

He says the US military is the only one powerful enough to do that: “And the world is taking notice of that, certainly Venezuela is taking notice of that, and it continues, because two oil tankers overnight were seized by the United States of America… that leverage will continue.”

 

“The president when he speaks he means it. He’s not messing around. We are an administration of action to advance our interest and that is on fully display.”
