President Donald Trump criticized socialist policies proposed by political opponents in his latest remarks on Venezuela on Jan. 24—specifically, taking aim at the 70 percent tax rate for the wealthy that was proposed by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Trump made these remarks when speaking at the meeting with Republican members of Congress on the United States Reciprocal Trade Act. He was asked by a member of the press about the crisis in Venezuela.
