We warned them. Stop sending poison to our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we\u2019re going to take care of that situation. We\u2019re already doing a lot. We\u2019ve almost stopped it. It\u2019s about 85 percent stopped by sea,\u201d the US president added.<\/p>\n<p>The US military has carried out more than 20 strikes on vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since September, killing at least 83 people. Legal experts and governments in Latin America have branded the campaign of attacks as extrajudicial killings.<\/p>\n<p>Washington has provided no evidence to support its allegations that the vessels attacked were involved in drug trafficking, and regional leaders say the attacks have killed mostly fishermen.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had previously warned of potential military action against sites in Venezuela and has claimed that Maduro and senior members of the Venezuelan government are involved in the drug trade.<\/p>\n<p>Officials in Caracas say the US is using drug trafficking as a\u00a0pretence to launch military action to topple Maduro and carry out \u201cregime change\u201d in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Thursday, Maduro said Venezuelans would not be intimidated, despite weeks of US threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 17 weeks, foreign and imperialist forces have been continuously threatening to disrupt the peace of the Caribbean Sea, South America, and Venezuela under false and extravagant arguments that no one believes, neither in US public opinion, nor in world public opinion, and even less so in the powerful Venezuelan public opinion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we say that in Venezuela, there is no threat or aggression that frightens our people or takes us by surprise,\u201d Maduro said in his speech broadcast on national television.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur people have prepared themselves with imperturbable serenity to defend their homeland, their soil, their seas, their sky, their soul, and their history,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump claims attacks on vessels in the Latin American region have stopped 85 percent of drugs trafficked by sea to US.
