However, when questioned if he would rule out sending US military to Venezuela, Trump said: "No, I don't rule out that, I don't rule out anything." "We just have to take care of Venezuela," he added. "They dumped hundreds of thousands of people into our country from prisons."
"Since September, US forces have killed at least 83 people via air strikes on boats it accuses of carrying drugs, according to an AFP tally of publicly released figures. However, the US has not provided any evidence to support its allegation that the people targeted in the strikes are drug traffickers. The US has also accused Maduro of leading a "terrorist" drug cartel, an allegation he denies."
