A Facebook post claiming that the US invaded Venezuela after disputed election results is false. There is no evidence or credible reports of a US invasion in Venezuela. While the US did challenge the election results, calling for a peaceful transition, there is no mention of any invasion in official statements. The deployment of US troops for hostile engagements abroad typically requires authorization from both Congress and the President, which has not been granted. The claim that the USS George Washington was sent to Venezuela is also false, as the ship was in San Diego and scheduled to move to Japan in August. The Facebook post did not provide any credible evidence to support its claims and the user who shared it did not respond to requests for comment. Reports from The Washington Post and statements from US officials contradict the claim of a US invasion in Venezuela. In summary, the assertion of a US invasion in Venezuela is baseless and unsubstantiated.
