Tensions are rising in the South Caribbean as the U.S. prepares for potential deep strikes against cartel targets inside Venezuela. In late August, President Donald Trump ordered at least eight Navy warships, supported by F-35 jets and 4,500 to 5,000 personnel, into the region. Since then, U.S. forces have taken out multiple drug-smuggling vessels, reportedly linked to the Tren de Aragua cartel, and officials say more direct action could be imminent.
Anonymous sources told NBC News that options are being finalized for drone strikes against narcotics groups, their leaders, and drug facilities on Venezuelan soil. President Trump has not yet approved the operations, but reports suggest they could begin within weeks. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has mobilized militias across the country while denouncing U.S. moves as a push for regime change. With both sides escalating, the next phase of America’s anti-cartel campaign may soon be underway.
