U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States could carry out a second military strike on Venezuela if remaining members of President Nicolas Maduro’s administration do not cooperate with U.S. efforts to “fix” the country.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump raised the possibility of further U.S. military interventions in Latin America, and indicated that Colombia and Mexico could also face action if they fail to curb the flow of illicit drugs into the United States.
