The Wall Street Journal: U.S. identifies potential targets for strikes in Venezuela
World
The United States has drawn up a list of potential targets in Venezuela as part of a possible military operation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources within the White House.
According to the publication, the list includes military facilities allegedly used for drug trafficking, such as military ports and airstrips, which Washington claims are part of illicit operations.
President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on authorizing the strikes, the sources said.
The White House accuses the Venezuelan government and President Nicolás Maduro of running a drug-trafficking organization aimed at “flooding the U.S. with narcotics.” Washington has also described Venezuela as a “center of terrorist activity.”
However, U.S. officials have provided no evidence to support these claims, while Maduro firmly denies the accusations, calling them a pretext for political pressure and possible military aggression against his country.
