Instead of them getting their energy from Venezuela, we are implementing energy from North America and allowing us to break the ties from Venezuela.

People are leaving the Northern Triangle because of poor governance.

We have spent $752 billion is the number I have--so we are well over $1 trillion--trying to bring peace to Afghanistan.
