In a recent press conference, President Trump confirmed that he has authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela. This decision comes amidst rising tensions between the United States and the South American nation, with the U.S. accusing Venezuela of drug trafficking activities. The move has sparked fears of a potential U.S.-backed coup in Venezuela, as the Trump administration escalates its involvement in the region.
Attorney General Pam Bondi also weighed in on the situation, stating that Trump “absolutely” has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to curb crime in Chicago. This statement comes in response to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s resistance to federal assistance in addressing crime in the city.
The U.S. has been conducting military strikes on vessels in the Caribbean that officials claim are linked to Venezuela and carrying drugs. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims. President Trump has even mentioned the possibility of land strikes against Venezuela as tensions continue to rise.
The decision to authorize covert CIA operations in Venezuela has raised concerns about the potential consequences of U.S. intervention in the region. Critics worry that such actions could further destabilize the country and lead to increased violence and conflict. The move has also drawn comparisons to past U.S. efforts to force undocumented migrants to self-deport, highlighting a history of coercive tactics in U.S. immigration policy.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how Venezuela will respond to these escalating actions by the Trump administration. The international community will be closely watching developments in the region, with many calling for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
