US EditionTrump warns land strikes in Venezuela could come 'very soon'
President Trump announced expansion of U.S. military strikes from maritime to land targets in Venezuela to disrupt drug trafficking causing hundreds of thousands of opioid deaths, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. will begin land strikes inside Venezuela imminently, expanding ongoing maritime attacks, declaring, `We're knocking out drug boats right now at a level that we haven't seen.`
- The administration argues U.S. intelligence agencies have mapped routes, safehouses, and production sites used by narcotics networks in Venezuela, linking the escalation to the opioid crisis and demands from American families affected by overdoses.
- Pentagon figures show 21 U.S. military strikes since September on alleged drug-carrying boats, causing 83 casualties, while White House videos depict strikes targeting small Venezuelan vessels.
- Legal experts warn the strikes could violate the War Powers resolution, while Republican-led House and Senate committees opened probes and will seek classified briefings Thursday involving Adm. Frank 'Mitch' Bradley and Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense.
- Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has denied ties to drug trade and reports about his sleeping arrangements amid Washington's deployment of about 15,000 troops and USS Gerald R. Ford, with analysts noting Venezuela's strategic importance due to 303 billion barrels of crude.
