US President Donald Trump Says Armed Conflict with the Venezuelan Government is Possible.
In a recent interview, President Donald Trump indicated that he is not excluding the possibility of military action against the South American nation. This declaration comes as Trump pledged further seizures of crude carriers near Venezuelan maritime zone.
Increasing Friction and Claims
He has openly charged Venezuelan leader, Maduro, and his regime of using "stolen" crude oil to "bankroll themselves" and of engagement in activities such as "Narcotics Terrorism," trafficking in persons, homicide, and abduction. He has vehemently denied each of such accusations.
"I dont rule it out, no," Trump reportedly told interviewers concerning about war.

- Moon Mission: Trump also signed a broad order that enshrines the aim of returning humans once again on the lunar surface by the year 2028 and securing space from weapon threats.
Statements of Executive Power
In separate remarks, Trump claimed he did not need lawmakers' approval to attack purported narco-traffickers on land in Venezuela, pointing to concerns over information leaks.
"I don't care about informing them, but as you know, it isn't a big deal. I am not required to tell them," Trump is said to have remarked.
