US Ready To Strike ‘Drug Targets’ Inside Venezuela, Will Trump Topple Maduro’s Regime? | Decode | 4K

The push by US President Donald Trump to remove Nicolás Maduro as the leader of Venezuela has intensified in recent days. Administration officials are discussing a broad campaign that would escalate military pressure to try to force Maduro out of office. It is being led by Marco Rubio, the secretary of state and national security adviser. Rubio argues that Maduro is an illegitimate leader who oversees the export of drugs to the United States, which poses an “imminent threat.” In recent weeks, the US military has launched lethal attacks on civilian boats that the administration said were smuggling drugs for Venezuelan gangs. The US military has been planning potential military operations targeting drug trafficking suspects inside Venezuela as the next phase of their operations. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
