BREAKING: President Trump says land strikes in Venezuela are “starting.”

by

President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will carry out imminent strikes on Venezuela to intercept alleged narcotics shipments from the country.

“It’s going to be starting on land pretty soon,” Trump said, without specifying further.

Newsweek has contacted the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry for comment outside office hours.

Why It Matters
The U.S. president issued the warning after American forces seized an oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast.

The U.S. is preparing to intercept more ships carrying sanctioned Venezuelan oil, Reuters reported, citing six sources familiar with the matter. Tensions between the countries have been growing since the U.S. began its military buildup in the Caribbean, which Caracas has said is a prelude to regime change. Trump’s latest comments raise fears of an open conflict between the countries.
