United States President Donald Trump stated that a large facility located off the coast of Venezuela was destroyed in an operation attributed to the Americans. According to him, the target would be a dock used for distributing drugs via boats.
The statement was made during a brief press conference in Florida, before a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump stated that the location functioned as a logistical center for drug trafficking.
When asked by journalists about the direct involvement of the United States Armed Forces, the president avoided confirming which American body had carried out the operation. He also did not provide details about the exact date, means used or possible consequences of the attack.
Trump had already mentioned the operation last Friday, but, again, did not present additional information. So far, Venezuelan authorities have not officially commented on the statements.
