President Trump pours cold water on news reports of imminent invasion in venezuela

Update (1155 ET): It took a few mere hours for President Trump to react to headlines from early this morning declaring, "U.S. strikes on venezuela possibly days away." The miami herald cited sources who said it could just be even just "hours" away.

Of course, if these land strikes against military and cartel locations are indeed imminent, the pentagon would want to maintain the element of surprise. So Trump has either just now authentically rejected that it's going to happen at all, or else is seeking to run cover in order to keep that military element of surprise and edge. Now he's saying there will be "no strikes on Venezuela". Asked whether he's decided on such strikes, Trump responded "no." "President Trump reversed the decision friday afternoon, stating no strikes would happen, leaving the military buildup's intent unclear amid ongoing U.S. efforts against drug trafficking," breaking reports say.
