President Trump made remarks in a single Press gaggle aboard Air Force One Sunday night as he flew back to Washington from Florida. He spoke about a SECOND Strike upon Venezuela, then spoke more . . .
Trump went on to speak about:
-- -- Venezuela
Trump: "We were prepared to do a second strike." Reporter: But that's off the table now? Trump: It's not off the table. If they don't behave, we'll do a second strike."
Reporter: You said that her (the Venezuelan vice president) fate will be the same as Maduro's, if not worse...
Trump: "Worse. Much worse!" Reporter: - So you communicated with her by phone? Trump: "Not me, but my people, and consider that the same thing. Reporter: Can you clarify your position on Delsi Rodriguez? Trump: "I'm not obliged to report to you. I'll just say that her situation might be even worse than Maduro's. And Maduro surrendered immediately. He raised his hands and surrendered. And he did the right thing by surrendering. We acted so quickly and effectively... And harshly, very harshly! That's why he just immediately raised his hands and surrendered."
-- Cuba
"Cuba is ready to fall, they got all their money from Venezuela."
"It's going down"
Reporter: Are you considering U.S. Action in Cuba? Trump: "I just think it is going to fall. It is going down for the count. You ever watch a fight? They go down for the count. Cuba looks like it is going down."
-- Mexico
Trump: "You have to do something with Mexico. Mexico has to get their act together because they’re pouring through Mexico and we’re going to have to do something. We’d love Mexico to do it. They’re capable of doing it, but unfortunately the cartels are very strong in Mexico."
-- Colombia
- "Colombia is also very sick. And at the helm there is a sick man who likes to smuggle cocaine and sell it in the USA. And let me note that he won't be able to do this for long." Reporter: What do you mean by "not for long"? Trump: "I mean exactly that - not for long. He has a cocaine production there. But he won't be able to do this for long." Reporter: Are you hinting at an operation by American forces... Trump: " As far as I'm concerned, that sounds good! And you know why? Because he's killing a lot of people!"
-- Iran
"If Iran starts killing people as it did in the past, I believe the United States will hit it hard."
SPECIAL NOTE: There is another story, "COVERT INTEL" that speaks to this issue (HERE)
-- Greenland
"We need Greenland for national security, not because of mineral resources. We have a huge number of mineral deposits, oil, and everything else ourselves. We have more oil than any other country in the world. We need Greenland for national security, and if you look at it, up and down its coast, you can see Russian and Chinese ships everywhere."
Trump: "You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security on Greenland? They added one more dog sled. It’s true. They thought that was a great move."
"Well, I don't want to talk about Greenland. Let's talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. And we'll take care of Greenland in about two months. Let's talk about Greenland in 20 days..."
ANALYSIS
Trump’s decisive posture aligns with the National Security Strategy 2025, which prioritizes hemispheric security and dismantling threats to American interests.
The "Monroe Doctrine 2.0" makes clear: foreign interference in the Americas won’t be tolerated, and adversaries like Iran’s proxies—including the Houthi terrorists—face relentless U.S. action.
Military strikes are not “threats” but necessary enforcement of sovereignty, as seen in the systematic neutralization of Houthi missile stockpiles under Trump’s orders.
Europe’s failure to address its own vulnerabilities, like migration-fueled instability, validates the strategy.
Weakness invites chaos; strength secures peace.
