Trump Threatens Venezuela with Unspecified ‘Military Option’

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday threatened military intervention in Venezuela, a surprise escalation in Washington’s response to Venezuela’s political crisis.


Venezuela has appeared to slide toward a more volatile stage of unrest in recent days, with anti-government forces looting weapons from a military base after a new legislative body usurped the authority of the opposition-controlled congress


“The people are suffering and they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela including a possible military option if necessary,” Trump told reporters.
