Trump Criticizes Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro with F-bomb Remark
During a recent press meeting, President Donald Trump expressed his opinions on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a blunt manner. Reports indicated that Maduro had proposed significant concessions to ease tensions between Venezuela and the United States, which included offering access to the country’s natural resources.
Trump’s F-Bomb Remark
When questioned about these concessions, Trump stated, “He has offered everything. You know why? Because he doesn’t want to f— around with the United States.” This comment confirmed media reports detailing Maduro’s offers, including a substantial share in Venezuela’s oil reserves and other mineral wealth.
Rejection of Offers
- Venezuelan officials offered major stakes in the country’s resources.
- The Trump administration ultimately declined these proposals.
- Another plan suggested Maduro step down in three years, transferring power to Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, which was also rejected by the U.S.
The White House reacted quickly to Trump’s candid remark. The administration promoted the video of the comment on social media, emphasizing its firm stance on Venezuela. The official account used the acronym “FAFO,” meaning “f— around and find out.” This approach underlined the administration’s hardline policy toward Maduro’s regime.
Previous Use of Strong Language
Trump’s use of profanity isn’t entirely new. In June of this year, he similarly expressed frustration regarding conflicts between Israel and Iran, saying, “They don’t know what the f—— they’re doing.”
Even off-camera, Trump has used strong language. For instance, he responded harshly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulating Joe Biden on his election win in 2020, being quoted as saying, “F—— him.”
Trump’s remarks reiterate his confrontational approach to foreign policy, particularly regarding nations like Venezuela, emphasizing a message of strength and resolve.
