Why?
Venezuela is already pushing back, and Bolivia and Columbia have both said they would help Venezuela if trump attacks. Brazil also said they would help Venezuela (back when t first started floating this idea some months ago). T wants their resources, he thought they would be an easy target, and he's finding that they are willing to fight back.
