Venezuela: CIA Involvement in Ongoing Crisis

Reuters reported that the U.S. is preparing new operations against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, following President Trump’s earlier authorization of CIA covert actions. The U.S. military build-up in the region, justified by a “war on drugs,” has faced criticism for its lack of effectiveness and legality. Allegations against Maduro concerning the U.S. fentanyl crisis are misleading, as Venezuela does not produce the drug. The Trump administration, under pressure from political figures like Marco Rubio, is considering actions that could lead to regime change in Venezuela.
