After his administration successfully carried out a raid and captured the president of Venezuela, Trump gave a press conference on Saturday, announcing that the U.S. wouldn’t be backing Machado.

Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins made the following statement, in light of President Trump’s comments earlier today to the GOP to be “flexible” about allowing for abortions to be covered in taxpayer subsidized plans.
