US President Donald Trump said late Wednesday that the United States stood “ready, willing, and able to help” Venezuela after the South American nation was hit by two powerful earthquakes.
“The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends. Early reports are not good!!!”
