First lady Melania Trump will also be making the trip to Fort Bragg, one of the largest military bases in the world by population, to spend time with military families.
The president spoke at Fort Bragg in June at an event meant to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
This time, Trump's visit is meant to toast service members involved in his administration's dramatic ouster of Maduro, an operation he has described as requiring bravery and advanced weapons.
His administration has since pushed for broad oversight of the South American country’s oil industry. Next month, he plans to covene a gathering of leaders from a number of Latin American countries in Florida, as the administration spotlights what it sees as concerning Chinese influence in the region.
The March 7 gathering can give Trump a chance to further press a new and aggressive foreign policy which the president has dubbed the “Donroe Doctrine,” a reference to 19th-century President James Monroe's belief that the U.S. should dominate its sphere of influence.
