Trump demands Venezuela take action on one of his most outlandish claims - or face an 'incalculable' price

President Donald Trump demanded the Venezuelan government accept the return of all of the prisoners he claims the country has forced into the U.S., or face an incalculable price.
Trump made the threat Saturday in a post on Truth Social, where he did not elaborate on which prisoners he was referring to other than some were people from mental institutions, an unsubstantiated claim he has repeatedly made before.
We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan Leadership has forced into the United States of America, the president wrote. Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these Monsters. GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE! Trump added.
For years, Trump has claimed without evidence that Venezuela and other countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, have been emptying their insane asylums and sending them to the U.S.
