US EditionCIA Behind Strike at Venezuelan Dock that Trump Claims Was Used by Drug Smugglers, AP Sources Say
- Last week, President Donald Trump acknowledged a CIA strike on a Venezuelan port facility targeting a storage site run by the Tren de Aragua gang, linked by the administration to Nicolás Maduro without public evidence.
- Months of naval and strike activity include the U.S. naval buildup in the Caribbean, which the Trump administration links to efforts against Maduro, according to officials.
- Trump said `There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,` CNN reported the strike used a drone, and sources said no one was killed in the port facility attack Monday.
- Observers noted Maduro has not acknowledged the strike and predict more confrontation, while Rep. Adam Smith said the CIA attack sharpened U.S. pressure and raised thorny questions Tuesday.
- Critics warn the campaign raises legal and constitutional alarms and may bypass ordinary constraints, suggesting the White House could be giving itself power to act with impunity under the Monroe Doctrine's Trump Corollary.
