The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Thursday that the current pressure campaign by his Government against Venezuela 'is about many things' and again pointed to issues such as immigration or drug trafficking. 'It's about many things,' Trump responded when asked in the Oval Office if the current military deployment in the Caribbean is 'about drug trafficking or about oil,' referring to the Venezuelan tanker that Washington seized on Wednesday and whose crude cargo it plans to confiscate. The republican avoided a direct answer on the oil issue, a factor noted by critics of the pressure campaign against Caracas, a measure that many consider is aimed exclusively at ousting the government of Nicolás Maduro. 'One of them is the fact that they have allowed millions of people to enter our country, including prisoners, drug traffickers, and people from psychiatric institutions, probably in a greater proportion than in any other country,' Trump explained, using an argument he has repeated many times this year but has never been backed by data.
