The President of the United States, Donald Trumpsaid the country would start implementing ground attacks in Venezuela, although shortly afterward he clarified that these ground operations are directed against “horrible people who are bringing drugs” into the United States and do not necessarily have to be on Venezuelan territory.
“And now we begin with land (the attacks). And by land, it’s much easier. And that will start to happen,” said the White House tenant, when asked about the situation with Venezuela during a press conference in the Oval Office, and shortly afterward asserted that ground attacks do not “necessarily have to take place in Venezuela.”
Trump claimed the US government had eliminated drug trafficking drugs “at levels never seen before”, in particular, according to the North American president, this reduced “the 96 percent of drugs that arrive by water”, while he assured that he would not want to be the remaining four percent.
Laughing and joking, he also asked those in the Oval Office, “Do you want to go fishing in this area? Does anyone want to go fishing in this area? I don’t think so.” American bombing of ships has already left more than 80 dead.
On the other hand, the President of the United States did not want to reveal what his next actions will be regarding the Venezuelan oilafter the epileptic seizure of a oil with Venezuelan crude oil off the coast of the Latin American country just two days ago.
Likewise, he criticized Colombiaeven if he wanted to differentiate it from the Venezuelan situation. “Colombia has at least three factories cocaine. It’s a different country. This does not satisfy us. But we are stopping it,” he said.
“Now we have a solid border. A year and a half ago, millions of people crossed it in droves. From now on, no one crosses our border anymore. And we’re not going to allow people to kill 300,000 people year on drugs,” said Trump, who compared the situation to a war.
