President Donald Trump told reporters on Aug. 1 that he is considering implementing a blockade or quarantine on Venezuela due to the foreign involvement of countries such as Russia and China.

Trump made the revelation in response to a question on the South Lawn of the White House before he departed on Marine One. Under Venezuela’s illegitimate dictator, Nicolás Maduro, the country for years has been fed billions of dollars from Russia and China through loans and energy deals.
