This report covers trump mulls targeting cocaine with key details and context.
President Donald Trump is reportedly mulling plans to target cocaine facilities and drug trafficking routes in Venezuela, though an official decision is yet to be made. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy’s advanced aircraft carrier strike group to move to the Caribbean amid a surge of US forces there. The President has also authorized the CIA to engage in covert operations within Venezuela. Despite this, Trump has not dismissed taking a diplomatic approach to the drug problem with Venezuela. The President’s primary focus is to stem the flow of drugs into the US. Trump has recently intensified his rhetoric on potential land strikes in Venezuela while the US military continues to carry out strikes on alleged drug boats. Despite the fact that Venezuela is not a significant source of cocaine, the Trump administration has been aggressively trying to link President Nicolas Maduro to the drug trade. There are also discussions on a possible regime change as the drug campaign could lead to Maduro’s ouster.
