Trump says US hit ‘big facility’ linked to alleged Venezuelan drug boats
The United States President, Donald Trump, has announced that the U.S. military targeted a “big facility” in Venezuela allegedly linked to drug trafficking activities. The operation took place on Tuesday, with Trump stating that U.S. forces had successfully hit the target.
According to Trump, the facility was associated with drug boats that he claimed were responsible for trafficking illicit substances, including cocaine, into the United States. The President emphasized the importance of combating drug trafficking and stated that the U.S. would continue its efforts to disrupt such operations.
On the other hand, Venezuelan authorities have denied the allegations made by Trump. They have criticized the U.S. for its military actions in Venezuelan territory, labeling them as violations of sovereignty. Venezuela has refuted the claims of its involvement in drug trafficking and has accused the U.S. of using such accusations as a pretext for intervention.
The incident has escalated tensions between the two countries, which have been strained for several years. The U.S. has been a vocal critic of the Venezuelan government, especially under President Nicolás Maduro, while Venezuela has accused the U.S. of interference in its internal affairs.
As of now, the exact details of the operation and the nature of the facility targeted remain unclear. Both the U.S. and Venezuela are expected to provide further information and statements regarding the event in the coming days.
