Trump, asked why Maduro \u201cshould take [Trump\u2019s] threats seriously,\u201d said Maduro could do \u201cwhatever he wants.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe can do whatever he wants. We have a massive armada formed, the biggest we\u2019ve ever had \u2013 by far the biggest we\u2019ve ever had in South America. He could do whatever he wants. It\u2019s alright.

I think it would be smart for him to do that, but, again, we\u2019re going to find out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since taking office again in January, President Trump has worked tirelessly with his administration to stop the flow of illegal drugs coming from Venezuela. The administration has struck speedboats carrying drugs and seized oil tankers. Most notable, the President has even labeled Maduro\u2019s regime a foreign terrorist organization.\n<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, the President announced a new batch of massive battleships designed to join his new \u201cGolden Fleet.\u201d Should conflict break out, President Trump would likely use this Golden Fleet to deal with the central American adversary.\n<\/p>\n<p>As tensions continue to rise, let\u2019s pray for peace, wisdom, and protection!\n<\/p>\n<h4>How are you praying about Venezuela and the threat it poses?
