BREAKING: Trump on Venezuela: ‘I want those boats taken out, and if we have to we’ll attack on land also’

"I want those boats taken out, and if we have to we'll attack on land also, just like we attack on sea," Trump said in the Cabinet meeting when asked about a recent attack where a narcoterrorism boat was hit by two missile strikes.

Trump made the comment while addressing if he knew about two surviving individuals after an initial strike on a drug boat in the Caribbean. He added that he didn't know about the second strike, and said, "All I know is every boat that you see get blown up. We save 25,000 on average lives."

"They've been sending enough this horrible fentanyl and other things like cocaine and other things, but fentanyl right now is the leader of the pack to kill our entire nation, because a little speck of the head of a pin can kill somebody. It's very dangerous stuff. I know so many people with this up to our drug addicts, they had one little sample, and they died. They died. They were they couldn't believe it," Trump added.

The president later said that he estimated the US military has knocked out "90 percent of" the drug trafficking coming to the US by sea. He then added that the strikes are "saving hundreds of thousands of lives" in the US.

Trump as of late has been putting a lot of pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro, even declaring the airspace over the country "closed in its entirety." The president has also accused Maduro of being involved in the drug trafficking of illicit substances to the United States, something that Maduro has denied. The US has also accused Maduro of leading the Cartel de los Soles.

With that pressure, the US has been increasing its military presence off the coast of the country and around Latin America.
