President Donald Trump hinted at potential strikes on "land" against Venezuelan cartels as his administration continues to intensify pressure on the country, including officials reportedly pushing for the ousting of authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking to press on Tuesday, Trump said "we'll see what happens with Venezuela." "We had a lot of drugs coming by water. We don't have any boats on the water. We hit a number of boats, Since we did that, we've had absolutely no drugs coming into the country via water because it was lethal. Now we're going to look very seriously at cartels coming by land," he said.
