"Trump threatened to begin detaining Venezuela's drug traffickers by land very soon, continuing what he sees as a successful campaign in which the U.S. military has carried out extrajudicial killings in Caribbean waters. The land is easier, he said. We warned them. Stop sending poison to our country, he added, referring to drug trafficking for which he blames the Nicolas Maduro regime."
"Since September 2, as part of an operation that Washington retroactively named Southern Spear, the United States has bombed at least 21 vessels and killed at least 83 people, mostly in Caribbean waters and near the Venezuelan coast. Beyond videos showing those alleged drug boats being blown up, U.S. authorities have provided no evidence in any of those attacks that the targets were involved in drug-trafficking activities. Nor have they provided information on the identities of the people killed."
President Donald Trump used a Thanksgiving video teleconference to threaten detaining Venezuelan drug traffickers by land, saying "The land is easier" and warning to stop sending "poison" to the United States. Washington has conducted an operation called Southern Spear since September 2, bombing at least 21 vessels and killing at least 83 people, mostly in Caribbean waters near Venezuela. U.S. authorities have released videos of alleged drug boats being destroyed but have not provided evidence tying targets to drug trafficking or disclosed the identities of those killed. The president blamed the Nicolas Maduro regime for drug flows despite fentanyl primarily originating from Mexico.
