Overview
- Pressed on reports about Venezuelan outreach, Trump said Nicolás Maduro “doesn’t want to f*** around with the United States” during a Cabinet Room appearance with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- He ended the press availability shortly afterward, closing the event with a brief thanks as aides moved reporters out.
- In the same session, Trump said U.S. forces had attacked a drug‑carrying submarine in the Caribbean that was built to transport large quantities of narcotics.
- Coverage links the moment to a broader pattern, citing a New York Times tally that found Trump used profanity publicly more than 1,700 times in 2024.
- Reporters noted that presidential profanity is uncommon but not unprecedented, recalling examples involving Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Dick Cheney.
