President Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. attacked a boat in the southern Caribbean, killing 11 people. Trump claimed the boat was carrying drugs from Venezuela, but offered no proof of the claim. The Pentagon recently sent warships to the region after Trump secretly authorized the use of military force in Latin America under the guise of the war on drugs. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has repeatedly warned Trump is seeking regime change in the oil-rich country. This is Maduro speaking on Monday.

President Nicolás Maduro: “Mr. President Donald Trump, you must be careful, because Marco Rubio wants to stain your hands with blood — South American, Caribbean, Venezuelan blood. They want to drag you into a bloodbath, to tarnish the Trump name forever with a massacre against the Venezuelan people, with a terrible war across South America and the Caribbean. This would be a full-scale continental war. They want to stain Donald Trump’s hands with blood.”
