During a cabinet meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump delivered a pointed message to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. When questioned by a reporter about Maduro’s purported willingness to cooperate with the U.S. following American airstrikes on Venezuelan drug vessels, Trump didn’t hold back.

In a swift reply aimed at Maduro, Trump remarked, “He has indeed offered everything, and there’s a reason for that. He knows better than to mess with the United States.”

Recently, the U.S. military reported that it has detained two individuals on a Navy ship, survivors from a suspected drug boat that was hit by a military strike. This operation, which took place on Friday, resulted in the deaths of two others.

The recent disclosure from the military indicates they are prisoners of war following Trump’s vow to eliminate ‘narcoterrorist’ threats in the Caribbean. The vessel was moving underwater and was possibly hit by a submarine, according to Reuters.

Trump provided more details during his Friday cabinet meeting with Zelensky by stating ‘it was a submarine.’ ‘That was a drug-carrying submarine built specifically for the transportation of massive amounts of drugs. Just so you understand, this was not an innocent group of people.’

Trump’s [expletive] to Maduro comes after US elite Special Operations aviation forces flew less than 90 miles from the coast of Venezuela, according to the Washington Post. An official said that the helicopters were conducting training exercises for a possible land mission into Venezuela to neutralized alleged drug traffickers.

Over the last two months, the US military has struck five Venezuelan boats carrying illegal narcotics in the Caribbean sea, killing approximately 27 people. Trump announced Wednesday he has given the Central Intelligence Agency permission to conduct missions inside Venezuela.

The President also unveiled on Truth Social earlier this week that Secretary of War ordered the ‘lethal kinetic’ on a narco-terrorist vessel. Trump said that Pete Hegseth conducted the deadly operation with his permission.

The operation is believed to have killed six male narco-terrorists aboard the drug vessel while they were traveling in international waters. Since being back in the White house, Trump has accused Maduro of being a drug lord and dictator.

Maduro, meanwhile, on Wednesday denounced Trump’s use of the CIA to institute a possible a regime change as ‘desperate.’ ‘How long will the CIA continue to carry on with its coups? Latin America doesn’t want them, doesn’t need them and repudiates them,’ Maduro said in a televised address.
