A congressman who represents much of the Tri-Counties is blasting the U.S. incursion in Venezuela.
Democratic Rep. Salud Carbajal of Santa Barbara called the Trump Administration's actions reckless and destabilizing. Carbajal added that without a clear plan for what happens next in Venezuela, a dangerous power vacuum has formed, which could plunge the entire region into chaos.
The congressman believes that the military action undermines the United States' global standing.
He said the deposed Venezuelan President was an illegitimate leader, but that the U.S. actions risk dragging America into another open-ended conflict.
