Donald Trump has suggested US military action could be coming in Colombia and Mexico in a wide-ranging press conference aboard his presidential plane.
In his comments made to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said Venezuela was sick and needed US support, adding, “Colombia’s very sick too. Run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.

“And he’s not going to be doing it very long.”

Asked if that might mean a US operation that could target Colombia President Gustavo Petro, Trump responded, “Sounds good to me.”

He later said, “You have to do something with Mexico. Mexico has to get their act together,” and better combat drug trafficking.

Trump said he’d repeatedly offered US troops to Mexico but that country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is “concerned, she’s a little afraid”.

Questioned about US military force in Cuba, however, Trump said, “I think it’s just going to fall.”

“I don’t think we need any action,” the president said.

Trump says ‘a lot of Cubans were killed’ in Venezuela

Trump told reporters “a lot of Cubans were killed” during the intervention to capture Maduro.

He didn’t specify how many Cubans were killed but said “there was a lot of death on the other side.”

Asked whether he was considering taking military action against Cuba, Trump said the country is “going down for the count.”

The US has said Cuba, a close ally of Maduro’s administration, provided security advisers to Venezuela’s government.

Trump calls on Venezuela’s VP to provide ‘total access’

Trump said he wanted Venezuela’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, to provide “total access” to the country.

Trump threatened that Rodriguez “will face a situation probably worse than Maduro” if she doesn’t cooperate with the US.

Trump told The Atlantic earlier on Sunday that Rodríguez could “pay a very big price” if she doesn’t do what he thinks is right for Venezuela.

On Saturday, Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio had spoken with her and that she was willing to do what the US thinks is needed.

Rodríguez has criticized Maduro’s removal from the country and has demanded that the US return him.
