Scott Perry calls drug smuggling “war works” in defense of the United States moving in the Caribbean region
On Saturday, Representative Scott Perry defended the Trump administration’s movements in the Caribbean region, indicating that Venezuela is working with Russia for traffic drugs in the United States
“One of the biggest concerns that I think, of course, is that Venezuela has now become a doll country for Russia, and of course, Russia is participating in the war in Ukraine,” the Republic of Pennsylvania Hina Duba, and it “apparently willing to move in the United States in the United States.
“It is concerned about this aspect.” “We don’t really want to be, in war with Russia, but at the same time, we have the duty to protect our citizens.”
He added that Russia is using Venezuela to move a “huge amount of fentanel and drugs” across the border and kill hundreds of thousands of people.
The legislator continued: “These are the acts of war and we cannot simply stand for it and hope to object to it on the borders.” “They should not send them in the first place.”
“They need to receive a message that America will protect its borders,” Perry said. “We will not allow you to do this kind of things and we will do something about it.”
The conversation comes a few days after the US military made a blow in the Caribbean Sea, according to what he described as a “drug ship”. President Trump said on Tuesday that the effort killed 11 members in Trin de Aragoa, a group of Venezuela that the United States has set as a foreign terrorist organization.
Defense Minister Beit Higseth issued a warning to other drug gangs after the strike.
He told Fox & Friends on Wednesday: “We have origins in the air, the assets in the water, and the origins of the ships, because this is a dangerous, deadly task for us, and you will not stop with this strike only,” he told Fox & Friends on Wednesday. “Anyone else who evades the water we know is the terrorist player appointed by NARCO will face the same fate, and it is important for the American people to protect our homeland and protect our hemisphere.”
Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro responded by saying that his nation was “the maximum preparedness” to defend its people against what he called “a heavy, unjustified, unjustified and very criminal threat.”
The Pentagon said on Thursday that it had monitored two Venezuelan planes flies near the US Navy. Officials described the movement as a “very provocative step.” The Trump administration later announced that it will deploy 10 F-35 fighter planes to Puerto Rico to help combat drug gangs.
The officials wrote: “It is very advised that Cartel in Venezuela do not to follow any other effort to obstruct, deter or enter into anti -drug and anti -terrorist operations carried out by the US military.”
The governor of Puerto Rico, Jennifer Gonzalez Culon (R), welcomed the increase in military presence.
