 <\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0is refusing to deny he might go to war with\u00a0Venezuela<\/a>\u00a0and wants to depose its president, Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n

Asked by NBC News on Friday whether a full-scale conflict was on the table, he said: \u2018I don\u2019t rule it out, no.\u2019<\/p>\n

The\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0president recently ordered a massive build-up of warships and aircraft carriers in the Caribbean after American forces seized a Venezuelan oil tanker and blockaded other tankers.<\/p>\n

The move\u00a0ramped up tensions<\/a>\u00a0with the South American nation following months of deadly strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in nearby waters.<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a>\u00a0has accused Maduro of using \u2018stolen\u2019 oil to finance his government, which is widely viewed as a dictatorship, and helping drug gangs infiltrate US territory.<\/p>\n

Maduro denies the allegations, claiming the US action is aimed at overthrowing him and gaining control of Venezuela\u2019s huge oil resources.<\/p>\n

In his NBC interview, Trump refused to clarify whether he is planning to overthrow Maduro.<\/p>\n

\u2018He knows exactly what I want. He knows better than anybody.\u2019<\/p>\n
