1:04Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said the US military targeted a boat carrying drugs from Venezuela, touting the administration’s success after deploying naval vessels to the Caribbean as part of a push to stop narco-trafficking.
The claim came weeks after Washington deployed warships and thousands of troops to the Caribbean to disrupt drug routes from Latin America. Trump’s remarks signal an escalation of pressure on Nicolás Maduro’s government, which has accused the US of planning aggression.
“We just over the last few minutes, literally, shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “These came out of Venezuela — and coming out very heavily from Venezuela. A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. So we took it out, and you’ll get to see that after this meeting is over.”
