‘If they don’t behave’: Is second strike on Venezuela off the table? Trump’s fresh warning

'If they don't behave': Is second strike on Venezuela off the table? Trump's fresh warning

Maduro and Trump (R)

US President Donald Trump late Sunday issued another stern warning to Venezuela that US will conduct another strike “if they don’t behave.”This comes after strong military action by America on Venezuela, toppling country’s government with capturing its President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores on Saturday, hours after a dramatic US military operation in Carcas.Maduro and his wife are being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre and will face federal charges and trial on grounds of drug trafficking and working with cartels.The pair have been charged in the Southern District of New York with conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism, cocaine importation, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess those weapons.Maduro has repeatedly rejected allegations that he is a cartel leader, accusing the US of using its “war on drugs” as a pretext to target Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, estimated at about 303 billion barrels, nearly one-fifth of the world’s total, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
