In this short clip, reporters press President Trump on why he won’t ask Democrats for a “declaration of war” before striking Venezuelan drug boats — and he snaps back, “I think we\'re just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We\'re going to kill them. They\'re going to be, like dead.” The camera lingers on the stunned press pool as aides hurry away; the sound bites are cut together with footage of recent U.S. strikes on suspected drug vessels in the Caribbean, underscoring how the comments land amid an active military campaign.
