[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump has threatened land strikes on Venezuela after confirming that the CIA is conducting covert operations in the Latin American country.The president was asked about his 'next step' in dealing with in Venezuelan drug cartels as the Pentagon continues to blow up boats with suspected traffickers in the Caribbean.
'I don't want to tell you exactly but we are looking at land now, because we've got the sea very under control,' he said.
Trump said that the drone strikes on the ocean had been so successful that there have been days 'where there's not a boat to be found' and claimed every boat that they destroyed saved 25,000 lives.
Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, called Trump's plan a 'coups d'etat orchestrated by the CIA.'
'No to war in the Caribbean...No to regime change...No to coups d'etat orchestrated by the CIA,' said Maduro, who the US does not recognize as legitimate. The leftist leader had a committee set up after Washington deployed warships in the Caribbean for what it said was an anti-drug operation.
Trump declined to say whether the CIA has authority to take action against President Nicolás Maduro.
