On December 29, local time, CCTV reporters learned that US President Trump said in an interview that the US military destroyed a “large-scale facility” during the Venezuelan operation. However, he did not provide further details about the operation. In an interview with John Casimatidis, the main Republican donor, on the 26th, Trump said, “We just destroyed a facility. I don't know if you've read or seen that they have a large factory or large facility, and that's where the boats came from. We destroyed it two days ago.” A US official said the president was referring to a drug facility, but declined to provide further details about the operation. There are no reports of large-scale facilities being destroyed from the Venezuelan side.
