From Daily Mail: Donald Trump did not rule out expanding US military operations beyond Venezuela to Mexico and Colombia. The president said in a recent interview he would consider using military force on two US allies in Latin America.
Trump cited Mexico and Colombia’s drug trade into the US as he continues threatening to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Mexico is the primary country for drug trafficking into the US for a variety of narcotics, including heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl.
Since early September, the Trump administration has launched 22 strikes on alleged drug-trafficking vessels in both the Caribbean Sea and the Eastern Pacific Ocean, resulting in at least 87 deaths.
Asked about the possibility of using force against other targets in Latin America, Trump told Politico’s Dasha Burns, “Sure, I would.”
Asked about sending troops into Venezuela as the U.S. continues to pressure Maduro, Trump left the door open.
“I don’t want to rule in or out. I don’t talk about it,” he told Burns. ‘”I don’t want to talk to you about military strategy.”
