Boortz discusses the U.S. role in disaster relief efforts in Venezuela, highlighting American military assistance in restoring port and airport operations and the work of U.S. search and rescue teams. He argues that despite providing significant aid, American personnel have faced repeated inspections, questioning, and restrictions from Venezuelan military and security forces. Boortz concludes by suggesting the U.S. should reconsider its involvement in cleanup efforts if rescue teams continue to face harassment from Venezuelan authorities.
