- Mark Penn: Could the U.S. end up like Venezuela? It might if ...
BOLTON'S NOTES CAUSE STIR: National Security Adviser John Bolton may have inadvertently revealed a potential next move by the Trump administration in the Venezuela crisis when photographers captured a note on a legal pad that read: "5,000 troops to Colombia"... Bolton was holding the legal pad in full view of the White House press corps while he and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced the imposition of sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil company PDVSA, a move aimed at increasing the pressure on disputed president Nicolas Maduro to step aside in favor of opposition leader Juan Guaido.
Sources tell Fox News that the White House is considering pre-positioning U.S. forces in Venezuela's western neighbor in case they are needed. However, the sources said that no such move is imminent. The National Security Council declined to comment on the note, while the Pentagon referred questions to Bolton.
