We know everything about them. We know where they live. We know where the bad ones live. And we&#8217;re going to start that very soon, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump did not definitively say when or where any possible land strikes might take place.<\/p>\n<p>Officials have discussed <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-venezuela-sort-of-made-up-mind-after-top-officials-spent-3rd-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">possible military operations<\/a><\/span> in Venezuela in recent weeks, CBS News has previously reported, as the Trump administration accuses Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro of working with drug cartels \u2014 a charge Maduro denies.<\/p>\n<p>But Mr. Trump said Tuesday that land strikes would not necessarily be limited to Venezuela. He said any country where illicit drugs are produced or trafficked &#8220;is subject to attack,&#8221; and singled out neighboring Colombia, which the U.S. has accused of failing to control the drug trade.<\/p>\n<p>The president has hinted for months that he may broaden his administration&#8217;s sea-based strikes to include accused drug targets on land, telling reporters in October that he is &#8220;totally prepared&#8221; to carry out land strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the U.S. military <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-us-troops-venezuela-military-buildup-reaction-in-caribbean\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">has built up its presence<\/a><\/span> in the Caribbean, dispatching the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier to the region and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-reopens-shuttered-puerto-rico-naval-base-caribbean-military-buildup-continues\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">sending F-35 fighter jets<\/a><\/span> to Puerto Rico. And over the weekend, Mr. Trump said the airspace over Venezuela <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/venezuela-trump-airspace-migrant-repatriation-flights\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">should be considered closed<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>If the president takes the step of ordering strikes on targets within Latin American countries, it would significantly expand the Trump administration&#8217;s anti-drug trafficking operations, which <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-strikes-another-alleged-drug-boat-eastern-pacific\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">have hit upward<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of 20 alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing more than 80 people.<\/p>\n<p>Those boat strikes are already controversial. Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans have argued Mr. Trump is acting without legal authority and hasn&#8217;t provided enough evidence that the boats are carrying drugs. The administration <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tells-congress-armed-conflict-drug-cartels-venezuela-boat-strikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">has said<\/a><\/span> the U.S. is in a &#8220;non-international armed conflict&#8221; with drug cartels, which it has designated as terrorist groups.<\/p>\n<p>And The Washington Post reported last week that the first boat attack, on Sept. 2, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/boat-strike-sept-2-trump-administration-statements\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">included a second strike<\/a><\/span> to kill two survivors clinging to the vessel&#8217;s wreckage, which some lawmakers and experts argue could constitute a war crime. The White House confirmed there was a second strike, but maintained that the operation was legal.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Tuesday that any land attack &#8220;would be an act of war, and Congress would invoke the War Powers Act,&#8221; referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ReferenceSheet_PresidentialWarPowers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the 1973 law<\/a> that limits the president&#8217;s authority to make war without congressional authorization.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts in Congress to limit Mr. Trump&#8217;s campaign have run into opposition so far. The Senate narrowly\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-war-powers-vote-venezuela-drug-boats-military-strikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">voted down a resolution<\/a><\/span> last month that would have prevented any strikes against Venezuela without a declaration of war, with 49 senators \u2014 including two Republicans \u2014 voting in support. A month earlier, a vote to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-war-powers-trump-venezuela-boat-strikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">end the strikes<\/a><\/span> on alleged drug boats also failed.<\/p>\n<p>Land strikes would also likely face heavy pushback in Latin America. In response to Mr. Trump&#8217;s comments, Colombian President Gustavo Petro defended his government&#8217;s anti-narcotics efforts, but warned: &#8220;Do not threaten our sovereignty, because you will awaken the jaguar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Venezuelan officials have also <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/venezuela-cartel-de-los-soles-us-designation-terrorist-organization-what-is-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">accused the Trump administration<\/a><\/span> of intimidating the country and seeking Maduro&#8217;s ouster. Mr. Trump has not said what his intentions are with Venezuela, but <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-venezuela-sort-of-made-up-mind-after-top-officials-spent-3rd-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told reporters in
