President Trump is holding the ninth Cabinet meeting of his second term as tensions escalate with Venezuela. Watch live here.

President Donald Trump called his Cabinet to meet Tuesday morning as the administration insists that it was lawful for the U.S. military to kill survivors of its air strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea in September.
