President Trump announced plans to expand U.S. military operations against Venezuelan drug traffickers on land, building on efforts that have primarily targeted the Caribbean Sea. During Thanksgiving remarks, he credited the Air Force for reducing trafficking by 85% at sea and indicated that land operations would begin soon. The U.S. has intensified military presence in the region, recently designating the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. Despite increased military pressure, Trump remains open to diplomatic discussions with Venezuelan President Maduro.
