US EditionTrump says US will soon take action against Venezuelan drug traffickers on land
President Trump announced upcoming land operations targeting Venezuelan drug traffickers after 21 strikes on drug boats killed at least 83 people, intensifying U.S. counter-narcotics efforts.
- On Nov 27, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. will very soon begin stopping suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers on land, speaking virtually with service members.
- For months the Pentagon has intensified deployments, carrying out nearly two dozen strikes on vessels they said were carrying drugs, killing at least 82 people, as part of Operation Southern Spear.
- Trump told service members, 'In recent weeks, you've been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many,' and added, 'We warn them: Stop sending poison to our country,' Trump said.
- The administration has designated the Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week, but legal experts say this does not authorize lethal force.
- Reuters reported on Nov 22 that the U.S. was poised to launch a new phase of Venezuela-related operations, while CNN and the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel said no strikes inside Venezuela are currently planned.
