During a conversation with journalists, Trump was asked if he could completely rule out the participation of American troops in Venezuela. To this, the president replied:
No, I'm not ruling it out. I'm not ruling anything out. We need to deal with Venezuela. They've dumped hundreds of thousands of people into our country from prisons... a year ago millions of people were coming across our border and many of them were from Venezuela. Including the Trinidad and Tobago gang
He added that he has warm feelings for Venezuela and its citizens, but, according to him, "what Biden and the Democrats did to this country is unforgivable."
Journalists also reminded the president of his statement yesterday that Maduro is seeking contact. In this regard, the US President was asked if he was ready to personally speak with the Venezuelan leader.
"Yes, I would probably talk to him, yes. I talk to everyone," the American leader replied.
