WASHINGTON, Nov 28 (KUNA) -- US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will launch land military operations against Venezuelan drug trafficking networks "very soon".
In a thanksgiving phone call with service members late Thursday, Trump said "in recent weeks, youآ’ve been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many. Of course, there arenآ’t too many coming in by sea anymore." "You probably noticed that people arenآ’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and weآ’ll be starting to stop them by land also," Trump said, adding that "the land is easier, but thatآ’s going to start very soon." Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that the US considers Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's regime to be illegal. (end) amm.ag
