President Donald Trump says the United States targeted a dock facility in Venezuela used for loading narcotics. He made the claim as part of his pressure campaign against the Venezuelan government.
The comments came in response to questions about an explosion in Venezuela. Trump stated the U.S. struck a location where boats accused of transporting drugs "load up." He first appeared to confirm the action in a radio interview last Friday.
The U.S. government has not provided further details about the incident. No information was given about potential damage or casualties.
