Trump: We Just Fired at a Venezuelan Boat Minutes Ago!
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera, amid rising tensions between Washington and Caracas and following the deployment of several US missile destroyers to Venezuelan waters, Donald Trump claimed during a White House press conference: “Just minutes ago, we fired upon a vessel carrying narcotics departing from Venezuela; you will hear and read more details soon.”
in recent days, the US military has sent several destroyers into Venezuelan waters under the pretext of combating Latin american drug cartel threats.
Nicolas Maduro responded to this US naval deployment by calling it an unjustifiable, immoral, thoroughly criminal, and bloody double threat.
The Venezuelan president added: ”Faced with this maximum military pressure, we declare our full readiness to defend Venezuela. If the United States attacks venezuela, we will declare ourselves an armed republic according to our constitution.”
