The President of the United States has made statements regarding recent events in Venezuela, explaining his country's approach to the issue. The President's remarks came against a backdrop of tension with Venezuela in various areas, including drug trafficking, migration, and military operations. These statements provide important clues about the future of U.S. policy towards Venezuela.
Redaksiya reports that in response to a question about whether he had met with the President of Venezuela, the President of the United States said, "I had a brief meeting with him and told him some things. We will see the results of that. Venezuela sends us drugs, and at the same time, it sends people who should not be sent." The President's words reflect the complexity of relations with Venezuela and the dual approach in U.S. policy towards this country.
Furthermore, in response to a question about two injured individuals being killed in a second attack, the President stated, "No, but I support the decision to shoot the ships. Those who use those ships are guilty of trying to kill people in our country." He also noted that the amount of drugs transported from Venezuela to the U.S. during his tenure had decreased by 91 percent, claiming this was due to his policies. Touching upon the attacks against "drug-carrying" ships around Venezuela, the President said, "We will also start (attacks) from land in the near future." These statements indicate that U.S. policy towards Venezuela will become stricter. The President's steps aim to protect U.S. national security and prevent drug trafficking.
