Trump denies having decided to take military action against Venezuela

Jinse Finance reported that U.S. President Trump denied having decided to carry out strikes on military targets within Venezuela, contradicting media reports that he had approved such actions. When asked by reporters on Air Force One on Friday whether he had made a decision, Trump briefly responded, "No." Earlier that day, the Miami Herald had reported that the Trump administration had decided to launch attacks on Venezuelan military facilities, and that the strikes could begin at any time. When asked about this report, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly stated that "anonymous sources simply do not know the real situation," and emphasized that any official statement would be issued personally by the President.
