"AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana President Donald Trump has revealed U.S. forces knocked out a big facility as part of his administration's ongoing campaign against Venezuela, possibly indicating the first land strike on the country since beginning military operations in September. The president discussed the U.S. military's bombing of suspected drug boats in an interview with John Catsimatidis on The Cats & Cosby Show on Friday. During the conversation, Trump seemed to indicate a direct American attack on a drug facility."
"They have a big plant or a big facility where the ships come from, said the president. Two nights ago, we knocked that out. Trump did not name the location of the facility, though American officials told the New York Times that the president was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela that was eliminated. The president's comment is the only report of such an attack. No other Latin American government, including Venezuela, has disclosed a strike of this sort."
U.S. forces knocked out a large facility tied to ships used in drug operations, an action that may represent the first U.S. land strike in Venezuela since military operations began in September. The president discussed prior U.S. bombings of suspected drug boats and indicated a direct attack on a drug facility. U.S. officials identified the target as a Venezuelan drug facility that was eliminated. No Latin American government, including Venezuela, has publicly reported such a strike. The maritime bombing campaign has killed over 100 people since September. Additional U.S. measures include covert CIA actions, airspace closures, and seizures of oil tankers.
