VENEZUELA is ready to defend itself against “warlike aggression” by the United States, the country’s leaders vowed at the weekend after the US military destroyed a fourth alleged drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean….

Mr Trump claimed on social media that the boat had been “loaded with enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE” and implied that it was “entering American Territory” while off the coast of Venezuela.

President Nicolas Maduro told the Caracas conference that his country was ready to defend itself.

“Venezuela has the right to peace, to sovereignty, to existence, and no empire in this world can take it away,” he said.

“And if it is necessary to move from an unarmed struggle to an armed struggle, this people will do so … Colonialism no more.”

Neighbouring Colombia’s left-wing President Gustavo Petro accused the US of committing “murder” and urged the victims’ families to “join forces.”

Posting on X, he said: “There are no narco-terrorists on the boats. Drug traffickers live in the US, Europe and Dubai. On that boat are poor Caribbean youth.”

President Trump demanded that Venezuela accept “prisoners and people from mental institutions” that are in the United States.

“We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan ‘Leadership’ has forced into the United States of America,” he wrote on Truth Social Saturday.

“Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these ‘Monsters,’ he wrote, adding all caps, “Get them the hell out of our country, right now, or the price you pay will be incalculable.”

The Trump administration Friday asked the Supreme Court to end protections for Venezuelans in the U.S. Over 300,000 migrants from Venezuela have been granted Temporary Protection Status, which stops them from being deported and allows them to get work permits and apply for some taxpayer benefits.

The case has been batted around the courts for months, and the justices previously blocked a district court preliminary injunction that had ordered the president to keep the Temporary Protected Status program running.
