The president of the United States Donald Trump replaced Venezuela at the center of your toughest messages. This time, through an extensive post in Social truthdemanded that the government of Nicolás Maduro that immediately receives Venezuelan citizens who are detained in American or hospitalized prisons in psychiatric institutions.
Trump accused Caracas of “forcing” the entry of those people to the United States, whom he described as from “the worst asylum of the world.” According to his story, these decisions resulted in “thousands of people injured and even dead” for the action of what he defined as “monsters.” The message culminated with a challenging warning: “Take them out of our country right now, or the price they will pay will be incalculable”.
Scale the tension between the United States and Venezuela

In recent days, Trump had announced that the US army destroyed a third boat from Venezuela that, according to him, transported drugs to North American territory. “We destroy, in reality, three ships, not two, but you saw two,” he said, before sharing a video of the operation in which, he said, three assumptions “terrorists” died.
The offensive against the drug cartels became one of the campaign axes of the Republican leader towards the November elections. Within that framework, he insists that Maduro’s regime leads an international network of “Terrorism and drug trafficking”. “Stop sending drugs to the United States,” he recently launched in another direct message to the Venezuelan president.
Caracas’s response soon arrived. Maduro denounced that these actions constitute a “Military aggression” and said that Venezuela will be worth his right to defend himself. “It is not a tension, it is an aggression on the entire line: judicial, political, diplomatic and on the path of a military nature,” he said in a public intervention.
The relationship between the two countries is thus crosses a new friction point that combines accusations of drug trafficking, military deployments and diplomatic threatsin a climate that is overheat as presidential elections in the United States approach.
