"The warning to drug dealers comes as the Trump Administration has been striking suspected drug running boats from Venezuela and other Latin American countries; the U.S. has conducted more than 20 of those operations in the past few months, with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth saying three narco-terrorists were killed in a strike two weeks ago. Trump has claimed Maduro is the head of the alleged smuggling operation the United States is targeting."
"Maduro took office in January despite big questions about the legitimacy of his victory. His opposition reviewed tally sheets from 80% of voting machines and counted twice as many votes for Edmundo Gonzalez. The U.S.-based Carter Center confirmed that tally was legitimate. The president, The New York Times reported on Friday, spoke to Maduro on the phone last week and the two discussed a potential meeting, although one was not scheduled."
President Donald Trump announced the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela is closed in its entirety and posted a direct statement addressing airlines, pilots, drug dealers, and human traffickers. The U.S. has carried out more than 20 strikes on suspected drug-running boats in recent months, with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth saying three narco-terrorists were killed in a strike two weeks ago. Trump has asserted that Nicolás Maduro heads the alleged smuggling operation targeted by U.S. actions. Maduro took office in January amid disputed legitimacy; opposition tallies and the U.S.-based Carter Center affirmed a different vote count. The two leaders spoke by phone about a potential meeting, oil-field offers were discussed and later talks were cut off, and plans for strikes on Venezuelan military sites and covert CIA operations have been indicated.
