Trump told his general, standing beside him, that he could do anything he wanted if the situation escalated.Since his return to office in January, Trump has steadily intensified his anti-drug-trafficking efforts in Latin America.Maduro has accused the US of seeking "regime change through military threat".When asked about the comments, Trump said "we're not talking about that", but mentioned what he called a "very strange election" in Venezuela. Maduro was sworn in for his third term in January after a contested election.Trump went on to say that "drugs are pouring" into the US from Venezuela and that members of Tren de Aragua - a gang proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the US - were living there.

We're strong on drugs. We don't want drugs killing our people."Trump is a long-time critic of Maduro, and doubled a reward for information leading to his arrest to $50m (￡37.2m) in August, accusing Maduro of being "one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world".During Trump's first term in office, the US government charged Maduro and other high-ranking Venezuelan officials with a range of offences, including narco-terrorism, corruption and drug trafficking.Maduro has previously rejected the US allegations.What is Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang targeted by Trump?Nicolás MaduroVenezuelaDonald TrumpUnited States
