Donald Trump stated Sunday that there are no “ships” remaining in Venezuelan waters following a recent Navy mission targeting cartels, warning that those involved will face difficulties if they attempt to travel by land.
“So now we will have to start looking on the earth, because they will be forced to go by land. And let me tell them right now, that will not go well,” Trump said during a speech at a Navy event. The event,intended to showcase the navy’s fleet and inspire future service members,saw a muted response to Trump’s political remarks,wiht attendees primarily applauding references to Navy strength and military pay raises.
Organizers described the Sunday event as an effort to highlight the Navy’s capabilities and encourage a new generation to contribute to U.S. naval power across the globe. The statement did not detail specifics of the Navy mission against cartels in Venezuela.
