US Increases Pressure on Venezuela

The U.S. is escalating its stance against Venezuela, with President Trump suggesting potential military intervention and targeting groups tied to President Nicolás Maduro's regime. The Pentagon is exploring new military options following a terror designation of Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles. This move aims to increase pressure on Maduro, with U.S. officials like Senator Marco Rubio asserting that the current situation is unacceptable. The strategy includes potential kinetic strikes and other measures to destabilize Maduro's government, amid claims of internal challenges facing the Venezuelan leader.
