Trump Ready to Use Military Force Against Venezuela։ Caroline Leavitt

US President Donald Trump is ready to use the "full might" of the US military to combat drug trafficking from Venezuela. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt stated that many Caribbean countries have approved the US military operation for this purpose.

"The President is prepared to use every element of American power to stop the flow of drugs into our country and hold the perpetrators accountable," Ms. Leavitt said.

In mid-August, it became known that the US had sent warships to the coast of Venezuela as part of President Trump's plan to combat Latin American drug cartels. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced the mobilization and preparation of 4.5 million militants to defend the country.
