Trump demands Venezuela to accept repatriation of prisoners and mental institution patients.
Warns of 'incalculable' consequences if demands are not met.
The U.S. has increased military presence in the Caribbean amid tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Venezuela, demanding that it "immediately" accept the return of prisoners and individuals from mental institutions, labeling them "monsters" that have been forced into the United States. Trump emphasized that "the price you pay will be incalculable" if his demands are not met, escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas. This statement was made on his Truth Social platform, indicating serious dissatisfaction with Venezuelan leadership, according to Indiatimes, South China Morning Post, Anadolu Agency, and Al Jazeera.

The remarks come amid intensified U.S. military operations in the Caribbean, which include the deployment of warships and F-35 fighters, justified by Trump as part of an anti-drug effort. He claimed that these individuals alleged to be from "the Worst in the World Insane Asylums" have reportedly caused harm, leading Venezuela to accuse the U.S. of conducting an "undeclared war." Despite this, specific details regarding the alleged drug trafficking have not been substantiated, according to Le Monde and Reuters.
