President Donald Trump held a “Latinos for Trump” roundtable with local supporters in Phoenix, Arizona, just a day after holding a similar event in Las Vegas, Nevada. During his remarks, the president expressed optimism for Hispanic Americans and warned them against a leadership under Democrats, saying, “We’re not going to be another Venezuela.”

Speaking to a cheering crowd at an indoor venue at the Arizona Grand Resort, the president praised the Hispanic American community. “Hispanic Americans embody the American dream and they are great business people. ... Hispanic Americans strengthen our nation beyond description,” he said.
