US President Donald Trump Says Military Conflict with the Venezuelan Government is a Possibility.
In a recent conversation, US President Trump has stated that he is not excluding the possibility of armed conflict with Venezuela. This statement accompanies he promised further captures of crude carriers in the vicinity of Venezuela's waters.
Escalating Tensions and Allegations
He has publicly charged Venezuela's president, Maduro, and his regime of employing "stolen" oil to "finance themselves" and of involvement in practices such as "Drug Terrorism," trafficking in persons, murder, and abduction. The Venezuelan president has categorically denied each of these claims.
"I dont rule it out, no," the President reportedly said to reporters when asked the potential for conflict.

- TikTok Deal: The social media app's Chinese owner, ByteDance, agreed to formal agreements to cede control of its American business to a collection of companies including Oracle, moving nearer to averting a threatened US ban.

- Moon Mission: The President also signed a comprehensive order that enshrines the aim of returning humans once again on the moon by 2028 and defending space from hostile acts.
Statements of Executive Power
In separate remarks, Trump asserted he lacked any requirement for lawmakers' authorization to target alleged trafficking groups on the ground in the country, citing worries over intelligence leaks.
"It's fine to informing them, but as you know, it's hardly a major issue. I am not required to tell them," he allegedly remarked.
