During a latest discussion, President Donald Trump remarked that he is not excluding the possibility of military action involving the South American nation. This statement follows he promised additional seizures of oil tankers off the coast of Venezuelan maritime zone.
Increasing Friction and Allegations
Trump has openly alleged Venezuela's president, the Venezuelan president, and his regime of employing "seized" petroleum to "bankroll themselves" and of participation in activities such as "Drug Terrorism," human trafficking, murder, and abduction. He has strongly disputed every one of these specific accusations.
"I dont rule it out, no," Trump allegedly told journalists when asked the potential for war.

Claims of Executive Authority
In further observations, the President asserted he lacked any requirement for legislative consent to strike suspected drug cartels on Venezuelan soil in the country, pointing to worries over intelligence leaks.
