"White House chief of staff Susie Wiles has suggested that the United States military's attacks on alleged drug boats around Latin America aim to ultimately topple Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In comments published by Vanity Fair magazine on Tuesday, Wiles appeared to contradict the Donald Trump administration's stated rationale behind the bombing campaign combating drugs. He [Trump] wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle. And people way smarter than me on that say that he will, Wiles was quoted as saying."
"So not a war on the cartels. It's regime change, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy wrote on X in response to Wiles's comments. Either way, totally illegal and nonsensical. The US administration has been intensifying attacks on vessels as it ramps up its military presence near Venezuela, raising speculations that Washington may be plotting another regime change war against Maduro's left-wing government."
Susie Wiles suggested that U.S. military strikes on alleged drug boats around Latin America ultimately aim to topple Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Wiles characterized President Trump as intent on continuing strikes until Maduro yields. The Pentagon announced additional strikes that it said killed eight people, while reporting attributes place total deaths above ninety. The U.S. has intensified vessel attacks and increased military presence near Venezuela, including a recent seizure of an oil tanker that Caracas called piracy. Legal experts warn the targeting of vessels in international waters likely violates U.S. and international law and may amount to extrajudicial executions.
