President Trump said in a radio interview that U.S. forces "knocked out" a large plant or facility used for ship departures and added, "We hit them very hard." The Pentagon did not confirm whether a strike occurred and referred questions to the White House; the White House, CIA and Venezuelan officials did not immediately comment. U.S. forces have conducted lethal airstrikes on ships in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific to curb drug flows, while the administration has increasingly targeted Venezuelan oil and seized tankers. Venezuelan officials condemned the actions, and legal experts warned such strikes could "cross a red line" and trigger Venezuela's right to self-defense.
