WASHINGTON, Dec 29 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. had “hit” a dock area in Venezuela where he alleged drugs were loaded onto boats.

Trump made the comments as he greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

“There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. They load the boats up with drugs. We hit all the boats, and now we hit the area,” Trump said, without providing any further details.
