The U.S. aims to disrupt alleged drug trafficking and weaken Maduro's regime with imminent military strikes on Venezuelan military sites, following 14 prior anti-drug operations killing 57 people.

- President Trump warned there will be land action in Venezuela soon, and Washington redirected the USS Gerald R. Ford on October 24, adding nearly 4,500 sailors and nine squadrons as analysts caution escalation risks regime change.
