Trump vaguely answers questions about the strike of Venezuela

President Donald Trump answered questions on the United States on Sunday, hitting Venezuela, as well as additional drugs in the midst of increasing tensions between the two countries.

Trump answered several questions about Venezuela while addressing journalists in Morristown, New Jersey on Sunday – including the possibility of hitting the country and if he fears the climbing of President Nicolás Maduro.

“We will see what is happening,” said Trump on Sunday in response to a question about the probability of an American strike on the Latin American nation. “Look, Venezuela sends their gang members to us, their drug traffickers and their drugs. It is not acceptable.”

The president also said that the number of boats seen off the coast of Venezuela, where his administration recently strengthened the presence of the American navy, has decreased considerably.

“We will see what’s going on,” Trump told journalists for the second time when he was asked if he intended to launch additional strikes on the Venezuelan boats rooting drugs. “There are certainly not many boats there.…. There was very little boats traffic.”

When he was asked on Sunday if he was concerned about a possible escalation of Maduro, who qualified some of the illegal Trump actions, Trump underlined the millions of drug deaths in the United States last year.

“What is illegal are drugs on the boat, and the drugs that are sent to our country and the fact that 300 million people died last year with drugs, this is what is illegal,” Trump returned.

Trump’s remarks came in the midst of growing tensions after an American military strike earlier this month exploded a Venezuelan’s drug boat in the South Caribbean, leaving nearly a dozen terrorists from Narco Tren from Aragua (ADD). According to the association, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela accused the staff of the US Navy of climbing a tuna with nine fishermen in Venezuelan waters, according to the Associated Press.
