President Donald Trump threatened oil tankers that trade with Venezuela and navigate the waters of the Caribbean, stating that they face the possibility of being destined for US ports.
“If they are stupid enough to sail, they will sail back to one of our destinations,” he said, referring to the threat he made last Tuesday to apply a total naval blockade on Venezuela to prevent the country from trading oil.
Likewise, in an interview with NBC News, the president reiterated that he does not rule out the possibility of a war against Venezuela.
Previously, Trump had said that he does not rule out the idea of asking Congress for authorization to launch a ground attack against Venezuela; However, it considers that it is not obliged to communicate its decision in this instance.
This would imply a new violation of US legislation and would add another outrage to the long list of illegalities of his government.
“I wouldn’t mind telling you. [al Congreso]but I don’t have to. “It’s proven,” Trump declared, minimizing the constitutional obligation to debate any military action.
Faced with the escalation of aggression against Venezuela by the Trump Administration, the Bolivarian Government has been emphatic in reiterating that If the US wants oil and gashe must pay for it, and not steal, as he has done, by attacking a ship and seizing the cargo.
