Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump has in­di­cat­ed that the U.S. has “hit” a dock fa­cil­i­ty along a shore as he wages a pres­sure cam­paign on Venezuela, but the U.S. of­fered few de­tails.

Trump ini­tial­ly seemed to con­firm a strike in what ap­peared to be an im­promp­tu ra­dio in­ter­view Fri­day, and when ques­tioned Mon­day by re­porters about “an ex­plo­sion in Venezuela,” he said the U.S. struck a fa­cil­i­ty where boats ac­cused of car­ry­ing drugs “load up.”

“There was a ma­jor ex­plo­sion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” Trump said as he met in Flori­da with Is­raeli Prime Min­is­ter Ben­jamin Ne­tanyahu. “They load the boats up with drugs, so we hit all the boats and now we hit the area. It’s the im­ple­men­ta­tion area. There’s where they im­ple­ment. And that is no longer around.”
