White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles confirmed that recent lethal strikes on drug boats in the Caribbean are intended to pressure Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to step down, rather than to combat drug trafficking. This statement clarifies the objective behind the military actions taken in the region.
The strikes have raised questions regarding their effectiveness in addressing drug trafficking, as the primary focus appears to be political rather than operational. The U.S. government has been vocal about its stance on Maduro"s leadership, which it views as illegitimate.
These developments come amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Venezuela, with the U.S. seeking to influence the political landscape in the country. For more on related coverage, see recent developments in international politics.
