This evening, President Trump dropped a hint about which country may be next after the wildly successful U.S. military operation in Venezuela this weekend.
While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way back to D.C., President Trump said that Cuba is “ready to fall” now that they are cut off from Venezuela’s oil supply.
President Trump also took aim at Colombian President Gustavo Petro, issuing an extremely strong warning that his days running drugs are numbered.
President Trump’s warnings to Cuba and Colombia echo what he and Marco Rubio said at Saturday’s press conference.
The administration’s warnings, meanwhile, are getting bolder and more definitive. Trump again accused Colombia’s president of “making cocaine” and reaffirmed his past threats that he “does need to watch his ass.” He predicted “we will be talking about Cuba.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a more sinister threat of future American action.
“Look, if I lived in Havana and I worked in the government, I’d be concerned,” Rubio said.
Earlier in a phone call, Trump warned that “something will have to be done about Mexico,” stating that he’s asked President Claudia Sheinbaum if she wants the U.S. military’s “help” in rooting out drug cartels.
“American dominance in the Western hemisphere will never be questioned again,” Trump said.
Cuba and Colombia are about to FAFO.
The weeks ahead are going to be very interesting.
