U.S. President Donald J. Trump is reportedly evaluating options for military strikes against narco-terrorist cartels operating in Venezuela, with potential targets inside the country. This strategy aims to weaken the influence of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according to sources cited by CNN.
The proposal reflects ongoing concerns about the increasing power of drug cartels within Venezuela and their impact on regional stability. Trump’s administration is considering a range of military responses as part of a broader plan to address what it perceives as a significant threat to U.S. national security.
Historically, the U.S. has taken a strong stance against Maduro’s government, which it accuses of collaborating with drug trafficking organizations. The situation has escalated in recent years, with reports indicating that these cartels have expanded their operations and influence across Latin America.
As discussions unfold, the potential for military action raises questions about U.S. foreign policy in the region and its implications for international relations. This comes amid recent developments in global politics that could further complicate the issue.
