From Breitbart: In a radio interview on Friday, President Donald Trump surprisingly revealed that American forces have neutralized at least one smuggling facility in Venezuela, the first land strike in Trump’s campaign against Venezuelan narco-terrorists and dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Trump made his remarks in a surprise cell phone call to John Catsimatidis, a billionaire Republican businessman and radio host. Catsimatidis was guest-hosting on WABC for another radio personality, Sid and Friends in the Morning host Sid Rosenberg, when he told listeners that his phone was ringing and President Trump was on the line.
Catsimatidis revealed that he had been texting with Trump about military action against Islamic State terrorists in northern Nigeria the previous evening, and Trump had decided to surprise him with an on-air call to discuss Nigeria and other security situations around the world, including Trump’s war against narco-terrorist boats in the Caribbean and Pacific.
In the course of the latter discussion, Trump rather casually remarked that the first ground strike against smugglers in Venezuela had already been made.
During the interview, Trump said, “I don’t know if you read or you saw, they have a big plant or a big facility where they send the — where the ships come from. Two nights ago we knocked that out — so we hit them very hard.”
Trump later confirmed the strike while speaking to reporters alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamain Netanyahu.
