00:00Now we go to the United States. President Donald Trump stated that he does not rule out a future military operation against countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in a context of growing U.S. interference in the region.
00:14In a televised interview, the head of state argued that drug trafficking is a structural problem and that he would therefore use force against targets in Mexico, Colombia, also whom he considers responsible for the alleged trafficking of fentanyl to the United States.
00:31In this regard, Trump avoided answering questions about the possibility of sending troops to Venezuela following the growing U.S. militarization of the Caribbean.
00:41Let's recall that this post-fight against drugs, which has justified attacks on more than 20 vessels and the murder of some 80 people, is an illegality denounced by international human rights bodies.
00:54During his interview, the U.S. president avoided answering questions about Venezuela.
01:04I don't want to rule in or out. I don't talk about it. Why would I talk to you? An extremely unfriendly publication, if you want to call it Politico, that guy.
01:14The U.S. president also revealed that he didn't know much about Honduras' ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez, whom he granted a complete pardon, releasing him from a 45-year jail sentence for drug trafficking-related charges.
01:28Well, I don't know him, and I know very little about him, other than people said it was like an Obama-Biden-type setup where he was set up.
01:37He was the president of the country. The country deals in drugs, like probably you could say that about every country.
01:43And because he was the president, they gave him like 45 years in prison.
01:46And there are many people fighting for Honduras, very good people that I know, and they think he was treated horribly.
