House Speaker Mike Johnston (R-La.) said Jan. 6 that he does not expect the U.S. military to send troops into Venezuela following an operation over the weekend that led to the capture and arrest of its former leader, Nicolás Maduro.
“This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change of behavior by a regime. The interim government is stood up now, and we are hopeful that they will be able to correct their action,” Johnson told reporters following the closed-door session at the Capitol.
