Trump says he doubts US will go to war with Venezuela

Donald Trump has played down the possibility of a US war with Venezuela, but suggested Nicolas Maduro's days as the country's president are numbered, BBC reported.

Asked if the US was going to war against Venezuela, the US president told CBS' 60 Minutes: "I doubt it. I don't think so. But they've been treating us very badly."

His comments come as the US continues to launch strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean. The Trump administration says the strikes are necessary to stem the flow of drugs into the US, according to BBC.
