📈 Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela are heating up again. This week, the U.S. military sank three boats off the coast of Venezuela, saying they were tied to drug trafficking. All crew on board were killed in the operation. 🚢💥
President Donald Trump has signaled that the U.S. might not stop at the seas. He’s hinted at land-based strikes against Venezuela targets if the flow of narcotics doesn’t slow down. That’s a big step beyond maritime ops and could mark a major escalation in this tit-for-tat showdown. 🌎
Washington says it’s boosting its anti-narcotics campaign in the region, while Caracas condemns the move as an act of aggression. Experts warn that further strikes on land could spark a wider conflict. ⚠️
What to watch: will the U.S. actually launch land strikes? How will this affect global markets and drug routes? And what does it mean for regions watching shifting power dynamics? Stay tuned for updates. 🔍
