President Donald Trump on Sept. 3 sent a warning to Venezuela after the U.S. military earlier this week struck what the administration says was a boat carrying drugs in the Caribbean.

“We have to protect our country and we’re going to. Venezuela has been a very bad actor,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday. “They’ve been sending millions of people into the country. Many of them are Tren de Aragua, some of the worst people anywhere in the world.”
