fighting Venezuela<\/a> if Trump orders strikes. American national security is at stake, the senator explained.<\/p>\n\u201cIs Donald Trump nudging America into another war? Is he seeking regime change for Maduro? Will he put U.S. troops in harm\u2019s way? Nobody knows. All we have is a bunch of contradictory statements from Trump,\u201d Schumer said. \u201cDonald Trump seems to be planning a war totally in secret, without congressional authorization, without any transparency, without any explanation for what his goals even are.\u201d<\/p>\n
A White House spokesperson told TNND on Tuesday that Trump was going to use “every element of American power” to stop drugs from “flooding” into the U.S.<\/p>\n
“On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to take on the cartels \u2013 and he has taken unprecedented action to stop the scourge of narcoterrorism that has resulted in the needless deaths of innocent Americans,” the spokesperson said. “All of these decisive strikes have been against designated narcoterrorists bringing deadly poison to our shores”<\/p>\n
Trump also told reporters on Sunday to not read into his comment about Venezuelan airspace but noted that the country is not very friendly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey sent millions of people, really, probably a number in excess of that, and a lot of those people shouldn\u2019t be in our country, from jails, from gangs, from drug dealers, from all of the people that came into our country, shouldn\u2019t have been in our country, causing a lot of problem[s] and drugs,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n
Venezuela has rejected Trump\u2019s accusations and claimed he is trying to remove its president, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, from power.<\/p>\n
