Bolton alleges Trump said it'd be 'cool' to invade Venezuela

President Trump said it would be "cool" to invade Venezuela and that the South American country was "really part of the United States,"
according to a forthcoming book authored by former White House national security adviser John Bolton.

Bolton's book is not the first documentation of Trump's musings about invading Venezuela.

In July 2018, The Associated Press reported that Trump asked his top aides why the U.S. couldn't just invade Venezuela, which was reeling amid economic turmoil and civil unrest.

A year later, Trump said he was considering quarantining or blockading Venezuela as part of an effort to oust President Nicolás Maduro, who has been accused of rigging Venezuela's presidential elections.
