"Venezuela is a strategic adversary and a danger to the United States," Barr said on the podcast C.O.B. Tuesday. "They are a base for Hezbollah, they support Hezbollah, they're in all kinds of deals, money laundering and other deals, to help Hezbollah to facilitate their drug trafficking into the United States." He also described the country as Hezbollah's "anchor in our hemisphere."
