Senior officials in the Trump administration have convened multiple meetings to deliberate potential military operations in Venezuela, amidst a significant U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean, including the deployment of F-35 aircraft and a nuclear submarine. President Trump hinted at imminent decisions regarding military action, attributing Venezuela’s situation to its alleged ties to drug trafficking. Despite the escalation, U.S. voter support for military intervention remains low, as indicated by recent polling. Meanwhile, tensions have been exacerbated between the U.S. and Colombia, with both leaders exchanging harsh rhetoric, reflecting broader implications for regional stability and Washington’s approach to Latin American affairs.
