美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周一表示，美国“袭击”了委内瑞拉的一个码头，据称毒品正在那里装船。
特朗普上周五在接受电台采访时说，美国在委内瑞拉“摧毁了”一个“大型设施”，因为他吹捧他的政府为阻止该地区贩毒所做的努力，包括打击涉嫌贩毒的船只。
“我们刚刚被打晕了，我不知道你是否读过或看过，他们有一个大型工厂或大型设施，他们把，你知道，船只从那里来。两天前的晚上，我们打败了他们，所以我们给了他们很大的打击，”川普在WABC的“猫和考斯比”节目中说，尽管他没有提供细节。
如果特朗普的评论是准确的，那么这将标志着自特朗普政府开始打击委内瑞拉以来，委内瑞拉首次发生已知的陆地袭击。
周一，当特朗普欢迎以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡来到他的Mar-a-Lago俱乐部时，他被一名记者要求提供更多关于罢工的细节，包括特朗普之后美国军方是否采取了行动10月确认他授权中情局在南美国家内部运作。
特朗普回应道:“嗯，这没关系，但在他们装载毒品的码头区发生了一起重大爆炸。”“他们把毒品装上船。所以我们袭击了所有的船，现在我们袭击了这个地区。这是实现区域。那是他们实现的地方。这种情况已经不复存在了。”
ABC新闻已经联系五角大楼和白宫进行评论;五角大楼让美国广播公司新闻部向白宫寻求评论。中情局拒绝对此事发表评论。
特朗普几周来一直在取笑委内瑞拉的地面行动。
美国也有增强了它的军事存在在该地区，15，000名美国士兵和几艘军舰在加勒比海待命。本月早些时候，特朗普下令对进出委内瑞拉的所有受制裁油轮实施他所谓的“全面封锁”，目标是政府的主要收入来源。
特朗普上周表示，这进一步加大了对委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗的压力马杜罗下台将是“明智的”。
“他可以做任何他想做的事，没关系，任何他想做的事。如果他想做些什么，如果他表现强硬，这将是他最后一次能够表现强硬，”特朗普说。
Trump says US 'hit' dock in Venezuela, marking first known land attack
President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States "hit" a dock in Venezuela where drugs were allegedly being loaded onto boats.
The comments came after Trump said in a radio interview last Friday that the U.S. "knocked out" a "big facility" in Venezuela as he touted his administration's effort to stop drug trafficking from the region, including strikes against alleged drug boats.
"And we just knocked out, I don't know if you read or you saw, they have a big plant or a big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from. Two nights ago we knocked that out, so we hit them very hard,"Trump said on WABC's "Cats and Cosby," though he didn't provide specifics.
If Trump’s comments are accurate, then it would mark the first known attack on land in Venezuela since the Trump administration began its campaign against the country.
On Monday, as he welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his Mar-a-Lago club, Trump was pressed by a reporter for more details on the strike -- including whether the action was carried out by the U.S. military after Trumpconfirmed in Octoberthat he authorized the CIA to operate inside the South American nation.
"Well, it doesn't matter, but there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs," Trump responded. "They load the boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats and now we hit the area. It's the implementation area. That's where they implement. And that is no longer around."
ABC News has reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for comment; the Pentagon referred ABC News to the White House for comment. The CIA declined to comment on the matter.
Trump has teased land action in Venezuela for weeks.
The U.S. has alsobuilt up its military presencein the region, with 15,000 U.S. troops and several warships standing ready in the Caribbean. Earlier this month, Trump ordered what he called a "complete blockade" of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela, targeting the government's main source of revenue.
Further ratcheting up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, Trump said last weekit would be "smart" for Maduro to step down.
"He can do whatever he wants, it’s alright, whatever he wants to do. If he wants to do something, if he plays tough, it'll be the last time he's ever able to play tough," Trump said.
