US eyes striking Venezuelan military targets

The Trump administration is considering airstrikes on military facilities in Venezuela linked to drug smuggling. U.S. officials state that such action would signal to Nicolás Maduro that he should relinquish power.

While no final decision has been made on land strikes, the focus of the air campaign would be on targets involving drug gangs and the Maduro regime. Trump and his team aim to disrupt Maduro’s influence, as the military has already targeted boats suspected of drug trafficking in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
