US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the two earthquakes that hit Venezuela earlier in the day had "left a devastating number of deaths," without citing any official casualty figures, reports Reuters.
"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 said in a post on Truth Social.
"The USA. 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."
