Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., criticized President Donald Trump’s military operation in Venezuela and his plans for the country’s oil in an interview Thursday.

"I don’t think there’s anyone, Democrat or Republican, who’s looking to get into another prolonged conflict," Slotkin told PBS News Hour’s Geoff Bennett.

She called the president’s idea that intervening in Venezuela "is going to be neat and clean and easy" and a money-making endeavor for the U.S. "a little bit of wishful thinking and certainly, given our history, not something that the average American is looking to do."

Slotkin’s comments came after the Senate advanced a resolution earlier Thursday that would limit the administration’s ability to further authorize attacks against Venezuela without congressional approval. Trump publicly criticized five GOP senators — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley and Todd Young — who had voted in favor of the resolution.
