US President Donald Trump has renewed his accusation that Venezuela is sending gang members and drugs to the United States, which he said was “not acceptable”. Tension has been high between the two countries since the US deployed warships to the Southern Caribbean on what officials said were counter-narcotics operations.As part of that deployment, the US launched an attack on a boat said to be carrying drugs from Venezuela, killing all 11 people on board. Experts raised questions about legality of the 2 September attack on the alleged drug boat, saying that it may have violated international law. Venezuela responded by flying two F-16 fighter jets over a US Navy destroyer two days later. That led Trump to warn that any Venezuelan jets putting “us in a dangerous situation” would be shot down. How true is the Trump accusations ?
