On November fifteenth, senior Trump administration officials held multiple meetings at the White House to discuss potential military operations in Venezuela, amidst a growing U.S. military presence in the Caribbean. President Trump has deployed a significant military force to the region, following deadly strikes against boats off Venezuela. The Gerald Ford aircraft carrier strike group, with over seventy-five military aircraft and five thousand troops, has moved into the Latin America region. President Trump hinted at a possible decision on military action against Venezuela, accusing the country of ties to the illegal drug trade. The U.S. has doubled its reward for information leading to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduros arrest to fifty million dollars. Meanwhile, the U.S. military has conducted operations against suspected drug vessels, resulting in eighty fatalities, with Democratic lawmakers questioning the legality of these strikes. The U.S. military is also upgrading a long-abandoned Cold War naval base in the Caribbean, suggesting preparations for sustained operations that could support actions inside Venezuela.
