"There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs, Trump said as he met in Florida with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They load the boats up with drugs, so we hit all the boats, and now, we hit the area. It's the implementation area. That's where they implement. And that is no longer around."
"United States President Donald Trump has claimed an attack on a dock in Venezuela that he said was used to load boats up with drugs, marking the first known land strike by US forces in the Latin American country since Washington launched its pressure campaign four months ago. The announcement on Monday came as the US military said it conducted another strike against an alleged drug boat on the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing at least two people."
"There was no immediate comment from Venezuela on the attack, and there have been no independent reports from the country about a US attack. The claim came as the Trump administration escalates its pressure campaign against Venezuela, part of a broader effort to target what the president says are drug-smuggling operations bound for the US. Caracas denies any involvement in drug trafficking and insists that Washington is seeking to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to seize the country's oil reserves, which are the world's largest."
President Donald Trump said US forces struck a dock in Venezuela used to load boats with drugs, calling it an implementation area that is no longer around. The US military reported a separate strike on an alleged drug boat in the eastern Pacific that killed at least two people. Trump declined to specify whether the military or the CIA carried out the dock strike. Venezuela issued no immediate comment and there were no independent reports confirming a US attack. The Trump administration has escalated a pressure campaign targeting alleged drug-smuggling operations bound for the United States, while Caracas denies involvement and accuses Washington of seeking to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro to seize vast oil reserves.
