Trump: Military intervention in Venezuela an 'option'

President Trump in an interview broadcast Sunday said U.S. military intervention in crisis-torn Venezuela is an "option."

"Well I don't want to say that," he told host Margaret Brennan on CBS's "Face the Nation" when asked about military intervention and any national security interest.

"But certainly it's something that's on the - it's an option," he added.

The also said Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro requested a meeting "a number of months ago" and Trump turned it down.

"I decided at the time, 'no' because so many really horrible things have been happening in Venezuela when you look at that country," he said.
