U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States knocked out last week a "dock area" in Venezuela, where alleged traffickers load boats up with drugs.

If his words were accurate, it would be the first known land strike by the Trump administration against the oil-rich South American nation.

"There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs," Trump told reporters in Florida. "So we hit all the boats, and now we hit the area – it's an implementation area, that's where they implement, and that is no longer around."
