Trump issues tough ultimatum to Venezuela

US President Donald Trump wrote about this on his own social network Truth Social.

We want Venezuela to immediately accept all prisoners and people from psychiatric institutions, including the worst mental hospitals in the world, who have been forcibly transferred to the United States of America by the Venezuelan "leadership."

At the same time, Trump claims that "thousands of people" have allegedly been "seriously injured" or even killed. The US president lashed out at Venezuela, stating that the "unparalleled price" that the Maduro regime will pay if it does not comply.

Get them out of our country right now, or the price you will pay will be immeasurable!

Relations between the United States and Venezuela have always been strained, but tensions have escalated significantly after Trump's recent statements, accusing Venezuela of not doing enough to combat drug trafficking.

In parallel, Trump signed a secret directive that allows for direct military operations against Latin American drug cartels — if the US has recognized them as foreign terrorist organizations.

Currently, three destroyers, a nuclear submarine, a missile cruiser, landing ships, and about 4,500 military personnel are in the southern Caribbean Sea. There have already been several strikes on drug trafficking boats — and Venezuela has carried out an air provocation against American ships.

Venezuelan dictator Maduro has announced a large-scale military mobilization amid deteriorating relations with the United States.
