The Trump Administration is preparing to strike military targets in Venezuela as part of its campaign against the Maduro regime, according to a report by the Miami Herald. Sources familiar with the situation indicated that the attacks could occur imminently, potentially within days or even hours.
The planned strikes aim to target military installations associated with the Soles drug cartel, which U.S. officials allege is led by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and operates under the direction of his regime. The Wall Street Journal has also reported on these planned attacks.
U.S. officials believe that the cartel exports approximately 500 tons of cocaine annually, distributing it between Europe and the United States. The strikes are intended not only to destroy these military installations but also to disrupt the cartel"s leadership structure.
As previously reported, the U.S. has been actively engaged in efforts to combat drug trafficking linked to the Maduro government, which has faced increasing international scrutiny and sanctions.
