Trump's economic approval rating hit a new low in the latest NPR-PBS News Marist poll, and the White House has been attempting to refocus on the topic as Democrats push their own affordability message.
Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.
Trump made the announcement in a social media post, which also said that Trump is planning to grow what he called an armada of U.S.
vessels off the Venezuelan coast.
The more than 200-word post accused Venezuela of stealing, quote, oil, land, and other assets from the U.S., but did not explain what he meant by that, nor did it give any details on the announced action.
The White House did not immediately respond to NPR's questions about the post.
Trump has in recent weeks suggested he would start strikes on Venezuelan soil soon.
However, as White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles acknowledged to Vanity Fair in an article published this week, any land attacks would require congressional approval.

Well, for one thing, Wiles openly described several conflicts within this White House.
For example, when Elon Musk started gutting USAID, Wiles says she was aghast and argued with him about how he was doing it.
She also talks about disagreements on tariffs and how she and Vice President J.D.
Vance initially tried to get Trump to back off of announcing that big round of tariffs in April.
