Speaking at the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US Navy in Virginia, Trump praised the country’s military for supporting efforts to “deal a major blow to the terrorists smuggling at sea,” saying: We’re doing a very difficult job, but you have to look at it this way; each one of those boats is responsible for the deaths of 25,000 Americans and the destruction of families. So when you look at it from that perspective, what we’re doing is actually a good thing.
He claimed that the attacks had destroyed a key sea route used to smuggle fentanyl and other drugs into the United States. Trump added: Nobody wants to go to sea anymore!
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has rejected Trump’s accusations of directing and leading drug cartels, saying his government has “eliminated all major trafficking networks and dismantled prominent drug cartels.”
He has emphasized that Washington intends to overthrow his government and seize and plunder Venezuela’s natural resources under the pretext of fighting cartels.
