"Trump announces land attacks in the face of deadlock with Venezuela president said the United States could grow military operations against state-related drug cartels"

"The drugs imported by sea represent only 5% of what happened last year" – he said.‘Next will be land’ – he added, not specifying where and erstwhile possible attacks could occur.Trump besides rejected the view that a declaration of war by legislature was needed to attack alleged drug traffickers.

“We can turn to the Senate; we can turn to legislature and tell them about it, but I do not imagine they have any problem with it” – he said.In fresh weeks, U.S. naval and air operations have attacked, as Washington claims, Venezuela-related drug vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing dozens of people.

Caracas denies any function of the state in drug trafficking and accuses Washington of pursuing ‘regime changes’.Tensions increased even more after Trump declared last week that he had authorized the CIA's secret operation in Venezuela.

President Nicolas Maduro described this public confession as unprecedented and ‘desperate’, at the same time putting the military on advanced alert.

He besides warned that Venezuela has a large arsenal of needle-S air defence systems from russian times.In the meantime, Thursday ‘Wall Street Journal“ he reported, citing sources that 2 B-1 US Air Force bombers, capable of carrying atomic weapons, flew close Venezuelan airspace.

Trump, however, rejected these reports, admitting that "We are not satisfied with Venezuela."
