President Trump said Tuesday the US is “prepared to take further action” in Venezuela and called for the full restoration of democracy in the struggling country.

“[President Nicolas] Maduro has inflicted terrible pain and suffering on good people of his country,” Trump said during a speech before the United Nations General Assembly. “The United States has taken important steps to hold the regime accountable. We are prepared to take further action if the government of Venezuela persists on its path to impose authoritarian rule on the Venezuelan people.”

He added, “The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented,” which garnered little applause from the world body.

“I ask every country represented here today to be prepared to do more to address this very real crisis,” Trump said. “We call for the full restoration of democracy and political freedoms in Venezuela.”

He warned that the Venezuelan people don’t have enough food and are “starving.”

“We can’t stand by and watch,” he told the delegates.

The president’s statements were a repeat from Monday night, when he denounced the “growing crisis” in Venezuela as unacceptable.
