A timeline of the US military’s buildup near Venezuela and attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats -
💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump has intensified military actions against alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, claiming these actions are part of an "armed conflict" with drug cartels and aimed at pressuring Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. has conducted 25 strikes, killing at least 95 people, and deployed a significant naval force to the region. Critics, including some lawmakers and human rights groups, question the legality and transparency of these operations.
