National security adviser John Bolton held a legal pad in a White House press briefing Monday with the words "5,000 troops to Colombia" written on it.
Reporters noticed the scribbled note on Twitter, with the first line appearing to say "Afghanistan welcome to talks." Economic adviser Larry Kudlow turned the notes away from reporters during the briefing.
The note appears to refer to the situation in Venezuela, Colombia's neighbor. The U.S. announced last week it considers Juan Guaidó, the opposition leader of the country's National Assembly, as the legitimate president. More than a dozen other countries followed suit, backing Guaidó over the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
Bolton's notes were spotted while he and other officials were announcing the imposition of sanctions against a state-owned Venezuelan oil company.
