                WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER REGIME-CHANGE WAR

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to sound the alarm on the 
military buildup in the Caribbean, edging us closer to a regime-change 
war in Venezuela.
  The Trump administration has sent the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft 
carrier, our largest aircraft carrier. Mr. Speaker, 10 percent of our 
Navy is in the Caribbean, including destroyers and submarines.
  We have got 15,000 troops in Florida and Puerto Rico, including 
marines who are ready for amphibious landings, and we have F-35s and B-
52s flying across the Caribbean and Venezuelan airspace.
  After Iraq, after Libya, after 20 years in Afghanistan, after Yemen, 
we do not need another regime-change war. It is time for the American 
people to oppose a regime-change war in Venezuela.
