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

Speaking on Monday before his departure for a State visit to London, England, yesterday, Trump said the military had struck three vessels as of yesterday including two seen 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.
