Trump: second Venezuela strike possible if government does not cooperate

05-01-2026 09:32 AM


Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States might launch a second military strike on Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro if remaining members of the administration do not cooperate with his efforts to get the country "fixed."

Trump's comments to reporters aboard Air Force One raised the possibility of further U.S. military interventions in Latin America, and suggested Colombia and Mexico could also face military action if they do not reduce the flow of illicit drugs to the United States.

"Operation Colombia sounds good to me," Trump said. He also said that Cuba, a close ally of Venezuela, "looks like it's ready to fall" on its own without U.S. military action.
Maduro is in a New York detention center awaiting a Monday court appearance on drug charges.

Trump said his administration will work with remaining members of the Maduro regime to clamp down on drug trafficking and overhaul its oil industry, rather than push for immediate elections to install a new government.
