The diplomatic relationship between Venezuela and the United States reached a new low this week after President Donald Trump confirmed that U.S. forces destroyed two more Venezuelan vessels. The attacks come in addition to a previous strike earlier this month that reportedly killed 11 people allegedly affiliated with the criminal group Tren de Aragua.
However, the regime of Nicolás Maduro isn't looking for friends in the neighboring countries. Venezuelan leaders said any attacks launched from the territories of Guyana or Trinidad and Tobago would provoke retaliation.
