Donald Trump threatens Venezuela with “incalculable” consequences / the letter he sent Maduro, a few days after the first American attack

US President Donald Trump threatened Venezuela on Saturday with “incalculable” consequences if he refuses to receive the migrants that Washington claims have been introduced by the Caracas regime in the United States, AFP reports.

“We want Venezuela to accept all the prisoners and those admitted to the psychiatric hospitals (…) that Venezuelen leaders have forced into the United States,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Social Truth, quoted by Agerpres.

The US president added, written in capital letters: “Remove them from our country, otherwise the price you will pay will be incalculable!”.

On Friday, Venezuela accused the US of carrying an “undeclared war” in the Caribbean Sea and has requested a UN investigation into American attacks that have killed over a dozen alleged drug dealers on the boats.

Despite American attacks and warning launched on Saturday by Donald Trump, sources familiar with the situation told Reuters that flights that carry illegal migrants from the US to Venezuela, two a week, continued uninterrupted.

Venezuela's president sent a letter to the American counterpart

A few days after the first attack by the US Army on a Board of Latin -American country, President Nicolas Maduro offered to bear direct discussions with the Trump administration.

In a letter to Trump consulted by Reuters, Maduro rejected American accusations that Venezuela played an important role in drug trafficking, claiming that only 5% of drugs in Colombia are transported through Venezuela-of which 70% were neutralized and destroyed by Venezuelan authorities, he said.

“Mr. President, I hope that together we can overcome the forgeries that stained our relationship, which must be historical and peaceful,” Maduro wrote in the letter. “These problems and others will always be open to a direct and sincere conversation with your special envoy (Richard Grenell) to overcome the noise in the media and false news,” added the Venezuelan leader.

Maduro's letter was dated September 6, four days after an American attack on a ship that the Trump administration claimed to carry drug dealers. The military operation killed 11 people whom the US president said were part of the Aragua train cartel.

The Government of Caracas, who claims that he has held tens of thousands of soldiers to combat drug trafficking and to defend the country, claims that none of the people killed in the first attack was part of Aragua train. They also deny the accusations of links between the high -ranking Venezuelan authorities and the drug trafficking gangs.

Maduro has repeatedly claimed that the US hopes to remove it from power. Trump denied this week that he would be interested in a regime change in Caracas, but Washington doubled-to $ 50 million-the reward for information to Maduro, accusing him of linking drugs and criminal groups.

Venezuela's president denied the accusations in the letter.

“This is the most flagrant example of misinformation against our nation, meant to justify an escalation of the armed conflict that would cause catastrophic damage throughout the continent,” he wrote in the message to Trump.
