Trump says: US is not at war with Venezuela

US President Donald Trump stated in an interview that the United States is at war not with Venezuela, but with people who 'sell drugs' and 'bring prisoners from their jails, drug addicts, and mental patients into our country.' According to Trump, the US is fighting criminal organizations, not the government of Venezuela.

Context

The US has long been imposing sanctions on Venezuela as part of an anti-principled policy regarding rights and freedoms.

Summary:

Trump noted that the U.S. is waging a war against drug addicts and criminals, not against the Venezuelan government.
