They are not a major supplier of drugs to the US, and he is using lies to justify overturning the government of a sovereign nation. Republicans in Congress know this, yet they do not counter the lies or lift a hand to prevent war.

From PolitiFact:

“Most U.S. overdose deaths are because of fentanyl, a synthetic, often deadly opioid frequently present in illicit street drugs.

Most illicit fentanyl in the U.S. comes from Mexico, not Venezuela, and is made with chemicals from Chinese labs. It enters the U.S. mainly through the southern border at official ports of entry, and it’s smuggled in mostly by U.S. citizens.

"There is no evidence of fentanyl or cocaine laced with fentanyl coming from Venezuela or anywhere else in South America.”
