United States President Donald Trump says the US military has thus far destroyed three boats leaving Venezuela, allegedly transporting drugs from that country. 

Speaking before his departure for a State visit to London this morning, Trump said the military had struck down three vessels as of yesterday- including the two shown in footage released by the US government. 

“We knocked off actually three boats, not two but you saw two. And the problem is there are very few boats out in the water, I can’t imagine why. Not even fishing boats, there’s nobody. Nobody wants to go take a fish,” Trump said.
