President Donald Trump has announced plans to deploy operations ‘by land’ to combat alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers, signaling heightened tensions between the United States and Venezuela. The White House claimed these actions are necessary to disrupt drug trafficking networks and protect American interests.
Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela have been intensifying over the past year, with both sides accusing each other of supporting hostile activities. Trump’s announcement comes amid ongoing political instability in Venezuela, where the government faces international criticism for its economic crisis and human rights concerns.
While the specifics of the land-based operations remain unclear, the President emphasized that the U.S. is prepared to take decisive action to address the drug trafficking issue. This move could lead to increased military presence in the region and further strain diplomatic relations between the two countries.
