2. (SOUNDBITE)(English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYING:

"We have the best military equipment in the world. Not even a contest. You see that with Venezuela. They had other equipment. They didn't have ours. It didn't work. Didn't work. Think of it. We did, the situation in Venezuela, it was a great military operation, getting a very, very dangerous man who's killed a lot of people, forced people into our country. Incredible. He'd emptied his prisons in Venezuela, emptied his prisons into our country. And I hope that charge will be brought at some point, because that was a big charge. It hasn't been brought yet. It should be brought. He emptied his prisons into our country and was a major purveyor of drugs coming into our country. And he's now been captured and I don't know, I guess be given a fair trial, but I would imagine there are other trials coming because they have just they've really sued him just in a fraction of the kind of things that he's done. Other cases are going to be brought, as you probably know. In the meantime..."
