在周日晚上的新闻发布会上，唐纳德·特朗普总统被问及他是否会考虑对委内瑞拉大陆进行打击。他不排除袭击该国部分地区的可能性。

　　“我们看看会发生什么。听着，委内瑞拉给我们送来了他们的帮派成员，他们的毒贩和毒品。这是不可接受的，”特朗普说。

　　当被问及他是否会下令对委内瑞拉的船只进行更多袭击时，特朗普说他将看看会发生什么。

　　“我告诉你，自从第一次袭击以来，那里肯定没有多少船只，然后，在较小的程度上，第二次，我们没有看到任何船只。我是说，我们几乎看不到船，这很好。就我而言，船只往来很少。”

　　特朗普告诉记者，他已经听取了关于委内瑞拉的简报，指责美国海军在他们自己的水域登上一艘渔船。在回答这个问题时，特朗普吹捧他为阻止毒品从委内瑞拉进入美国所做的努力。

　　Trump doesn’t rule out strikes on mainland Venezuela

　　During his press gaggle Sunday evening, President Donald Trump was asked if he would consider strikes against mainland Venezuela. He didn’t rule out the possibility of striking parts of the country.

　　“We’ll see what happens. Look, Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It's not acceptable,” Trump said.

　　Asked if he’ll order more strikes on Venezuela’s vessels, Trump said he’ll see what happens.

　　“There's certainly not a lot of boats out there, I'll tell you, since the first strike, and then, to a lesser extent, the second, we don't see any. I mean, we almost see no boats out there, which is fine. As far as I'm concerned, there's been very little boat traffic.”

　　Trump told reporters he’s been briefed about Venezuela, accusing the United States Navy of boarding a fishing vessel in their own waters. While answering the question, Trump touted his efforts to stop drugs from coming into the U.S. from Venezuela.
