💨 Abstract

troops in the Caribbean may have their holiday leave restricted due to planned operations in Venezuela. The U.S. is preparing for potential strikes against President Nicolás Maduro's regime, accused of drug trafficking. The U.S. has increased military presence in the region, including the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier. Recent strikes on alleged drug boats have raised international concerns about legality and human rights. The U.S. strategy has shifted from interception to destruction of suspected drug vessels.
