United States ruler Donald Trump issued a command to attack Venezuela. The dramatic military operation in Caracas led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who are now in U.S. custody and on American soil.

Trump issued veiled threats to the governments of Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba following a U.S. special forces raid in Venezuela. In comments defending the attack on Caracas, Trump characterized Maduro as a “narco-terrorist.” According to a report by RT, when the U.S. ruler was asked about implications for neighboring countries, Trump doubled down on his criticism of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a key Maduro ally.

“He has cocaine mills, he has factories where he makes cocaine,” Trump said, adding, “he does have to watch his ass.”

This is not the first time Trump has made threats against Colombia, either.

The US president also noted that Cuba is “going to be something we’ll end up talking about,” suggesting that Washington wants to “help the people” of this “failing nation,” which he claimed is similar to Venezuela.

“It’s very similar in the sense that we want to help the people in Cuba, but we also want to help the people who were forced out of Cuba and are living in this country,” he said. Trump then added that “something’s going to have to be done with Mexico,” claiming that drug cartels effectively control the country, but that President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo is “frightened” of them.

“[The drug cartels are] running Mexico. I’ve asked her numerous times: ‘Would you like us to take out the cartels?’ ‘No, no, no, Mr. President, no, no, no, please.’ So we have to do something,” he said in a phone interview with Fox News earlier in the day.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. The Foreign Ministry described the operation as that of “armed aggression” against Venezuela on Saturday, calling for restraint and warning against further escalation.

It isn’t only Russia that has criticized the U.S.’s war mongering. The U.S. has been met with widespread international condemnation over its attack on Venezuela. All three nations to which Trump issued veiled threats have denounced the attack as a breach of international law and a threat to regional stability.
