BREAKING: Senior military officials have just presented President Donald Trump with urgent military options for potential operations in Venezuela. This critical briefing took place at the White House on Wednesday, as tensions escalate in the region.
Multiple sources reveal that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, and other senior officials outlined various military strategies, including possible strikes on land. While no final decision has been made, the discussions signal a significant shift in U.S. military policy towards Venezuela.
The U.S. intelligence community has been actively involved, providing crucial information to assess potential operations. Notably, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was absent from the discussions, returning from an overseas trip, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio was attending a G7 summit in Canada.
Adding to the urgency, the USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has recently entered the U.S. Southern Command’s area of responsibility. This deployment marks a significant military presence in the Caribbean and South America, joining a fleet of destroyers, warplanes, and special operations assets already stationed in the region.
Over the past two months, the U.S. military has conducted operations against at least 21 vessels accused of trafficking drugs from South America to the U.S. Reports indicate that at least 80 alleged smugglers have been killed in these strikes, while two survivors were repatriated to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia. The Ecuadorian individual was released after authorities found no evidence of wrongdoing.
As developments unfold rapidly, the world is watching closely. The implications of military action could reverberate throughout the region, impacting millions. Authorities are expected to make further announcements regarding military readiness and potential operations in the coming days.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as events unfold.
