Trump Insists U.S. Attacks in Venezuelan Territory Will Begin “Soon” and Warns Countries Trafficking Drugs to the U.S.

Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump reiterated on Tuesday that U.S. military strikes against drug cartels inside Venezuelan territory will begin “very soon,” following recent operations against boats in the Caribbean allegedly linked to narcotrafficking. He also warned that the same consequences await any country that produces or traffics drugs into the United States.

Last week, the president had already mentioned that U.S. forces would act “very soon” on Venezuelan soil against suspected traffickers, and he advised pilots and airlines to consider Venezuelan airspace “completely closed.”

A strike inside Venezuela would fall under the Pentagon’s operation Southern Spear, which so far has destroyed more than twenty vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing over 80 alleged traffickers in extrajudicial actions.

Trump’s Warning to Other Countries

Trump cautioned that any nation producing and trafficking drugs into the U.S. “is subject to attacks,” suggesting that Colombia could also be included in upcoming ground operations.

“I’ve heard that Colombia, the country of Colombia, produces cocaine. They have manufacturing plants, right? And then they sell us cocaine. But yes, anyone who does that and sells it to our country is subject to attacks, not necessarily just Venezuela,” he said.

In October, the Republican also leveled harsh criticism at his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, whom he labeled a “drug trafficking leader,” suspending U.S. aid to Bogotá over what he described as Petro’s failure to act against cartels.

Pentagon Defends Caribbean Strikes

Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson defended the legality of U.S. attacks on boats in the Caribbean, arguing that those on board “are terrorists” already identified by intelligence teams.
