Trump warns Venezuela: If your military planes endanger our ships, they will be

US President Donald Trump has warned that if Venezuelan military aircraft fly over US naval ships and put them in a dangerous situation, they will be shot down.

This statement comes after, according to US officials quoted by CBS News, Venezuelan military aircraft approached a US warship off the coast of South America for the second time in two days.

The incident occurred shortly after a US attack on a suspected drug-trafficking ship from Venezuela, which the Trump administration said was operated by a criminal gang, and in which 11 people died.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has rejected the US accusations, calling them untrue and stating that “disagreements between the two countries do not justify a military conflict.” “ Venezuela has always been ready for dialogue, but we ask for respect,” he stressed.

Asked by reporters in the Oval Office on Friday what would happen if Venezuelan jets flew over US ships again, Trump responded that Venezuela would face "serious trouble."

In the presence of a US Army general, Trump publicly declared that he had given him "the freedom to do whatever he wants" if the situation escalated.

Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has significantly increased efforts to combat drug trafficking in Latin America.

Meanwhile, Maduro has accused the US of seeking "regime change through military threat."

When asked about the accusation, Trump said "that's not the case," but cited what he called a "very strange election" in Venezuela. Maduro officially took office for a third presidential term in January after a disputed election process.

Trump also added that "drugs are flowing" from Venezuela to the US and that members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, declared a terrorist organization by the US, are taking refuge in that country.

To stem this influx, the US military has significantly increased its presence in the southern Caribbean, including the deployment of additional warships as well as thousands of US Marines and sailors.

The White House confirmed on Friday that it is sending 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico as part of this expanded operation against drug trafficking.

Asked about this military buildup in the Caribbean, Trump replied: "We're just showing strength. We're tough on drugs. We don't want drugs killing our people."

Trump, known for his tough stances against Nicolás Maduro, in August doubled the reward for information leading to the arrest of the Venezuelan president, increasing it to $50 million, and describing him as "one of the biggest drug traffickers in the world."

During his first term, the Trump administration brought criminal charges against Maduro and several senior Venezuelan officials for involvement in narco-terrorism, corruption, and international drug trafficking. Maduro has consistently denied all of these charges.
