This was not the first time President Trump used strong language in public. In June, after a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran collapsed, Trump expressed frustration using similar words.
Speaking to reporters at the White House before leaving for a NATO summit in the Netherlands, he said, “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.”
The statement came as part of Trump’s criticism of long-running Middle East conflicts and the instability that followed repeated peace talks.
The Trump administration expanded its military campaign against Venezuela this week after the President authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations inside the country.
Trump claimed that Venezuela had “emptied its prisons into the United States” and was “flooding America with drugs.” He said the decision aimed to stop illegal narcotics trade and dismantle criminal networks linked to Maduro’s regime.
U.S. intelligence officials confirmed that the new authorization allows broader intelligence gathering, drone surveillance, and targeted operations along Venezuela’s northern coast and Caribbean routes used by drug cartels.
U.S. Declares Armed Conflict with Venezuelan Drug Cartels
Last month, the Trump administration declared that the United States is in an armed conflict with Venezuelan drug cartels, which the President labeled “unlawful combatants.”
According to a confidential notice sent to Congress, the administration invoked wartime powers to justify missile strikes targeting drug-smuggling boats near the Caribbean Sea.
At least 27 people were reportedly killed in the strikes. U.S. officials said the operations were aimed at disrupting drug routes and dismantling cartel networks. The announcement marked a major escalation in U.S.-Venezuela relations amid rising tensions between Washington and Caracas.
