Kelly Armstrong issued the following statement regarding the arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. “Taking a brutal dictator like Nicolás Maduro off the board makes the United States, the western hemisphere and the world a safer place,” Armstrong said. “President Trump was right to remove this illegitimate leader who stole an election and partnered with a cartel to flood U.S. streets with narcotics that cost American lives – leading to a federal indictment for narco-terrorism more than five years ago. Our military members deserve our deepest thanks for their incredible courage and precision in carrying out this complex mission and bringing Maduro to justice.” C O N T A C T : Mike Nowatzki mnow...@nd.gov 701.328.2424 Mike Kennedy mikek...@nd.gov 701.328.2937 600 E Boulevard Ave. Bismarck, ND 58505 PHONE:  701.328.2200
