Trump Administration Reportedly Planning Strikes on Venezuelan Military Targets
- The United States has deployed more than 10,000 personnel across the Caribbean theater and built a large naval and air presence in recent months, while President Donald Trump denied on October 31, 2025, considering strikes inside Venezuela.
- The administration argues it is acting to counter drug trafficking after the State Department designated eight groups as foreign terrorist organizations on February 20, though intelligence disputes Venezuelan government links to Tren de Aragua.
- Carrier and air assets including Carrier Air Wing 8 provide strike, surveillance, and assault capability with the USS Iwo Jima carrying more than 1,600 Marines and over 6,000 sailors and Marines on eight warships.
- Legal experts caution that maritime strikes have killed 57 people and Venezuela has fortified borders, mobilizing 3 million Bolivarian Militia members, while an attack would violate the United Nations Charter and General Assembly Resolution 3314.
- President Trump warned there will be land action in Venezuela soon, and Washington redirected the USS Gerald R. Ford on October 24, adding nearly 4,500 sailors and nine squadrons as analysts caution escalation risks regime change.
