Venezuela must return the land that is Venezuelan land, and the oil that lies under Venezuelan land, to its rightful owner, the United States.
Otherwise, we have no option but to take the land and oil (which again, belongs to us and not to Venezuela).

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

I’d also like to point out that you cannot surround Venezuela with an armada.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
