U.S. President Donald Trump said during a CBS “60 Minutes” interview aired on Nov. 2 that he doubts that the United States will go to war against Venezuela.

Trump was asked about the possibility of war with the South American country after U.S. forces increased operations in the Caribbean in recent months and carried out strikes on multiple vessels that the Department of War said were drug-trafficking boats.
