The president said a report that the bombers flew close to Venezuela was “not accurate.”

B-1 bombers flew within about 50 miles from Venezuela on Thursday as the United States continues to strike drug boats departing from the South American country.
Asked about the flights during a panel discussion at the White House on Thursday, Trump denied that two B-1 Lancers had flown close to Venezuela.
The flights have been tracked on flight radars. The two bombers took off from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas on Thursday and flew near Venezuela, but remained over international waters, according to WSJ.
The flights followed a show of force last week when B-52 bombers and F-35B jet fighters operated by the U.S. Air Force and Marines flew near an island off the coast of Venezuela.
“Not accurate,” said Trump when asked about a report of the flights published in The Wall Street Journal. “No, it’s false, but we’re not happy with Venezuela for a lot of reasons. Drugs being one of them.”
