JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump said it was possible that a war would break out between the United States and Venezuela.
"I don't rule it out, no," Trump said in an interview with NBC television station, reported by Sputnik, Friday, December 19.
Trump also said he did not intend to discuss the issue that the US attack on Venezuelan ships could allegedly trigger a war.
He reiterated his administration's plan to continue seizing Venezuelan tankers.
Trump also avoided answering questions about whether overthrowing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was his ultimate goal.
"He knows exactly what I want," Trump said. "He knows better than anybody."
Anadolu reported on Wednesday that Venezuela accused the US of "maritime piracy" for seizing a shipment of Venezuelan oil in international waters.
Venezuela accused US forces of "forcibly boarding a private vessel in international waters, paralyzing and kidnapping the crew, and illegally seizing Venezuelan oil cargo."
