Trump Balks At Declaring War For Venezuelan Drug Cartel Strikes‘We’re Just Going To Kill People’
"President Donald Trump resisted the idea of making a declaration of war against Venezuelan drug cartels being targeted by U.S. military strikes, telling reporters Thursday “we’re gonna kill them” as the legality of the strikes, which have not been approved by Congress, has come into question.
When asked by a reporter why he would not ask Congress for a declaration of war against the cartels, Trump said, “I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.”
The U.S. military has carried out at least nine strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean against alleged drug boats since September that have killed about 39 people and left few survivors.
“We’re gonna kill them, you know? They’re gonna be like, dead,” Trump added.
The president also claimed reports about U.S. B-1 bombers being sent near Venezuela were “false,” though he said land strikes against Venezuelan drug cartels are “going to be next.”"
