The US military has conducted a number of deadly attacks on boats it claims were linked to Venezuelan-led narcotics smuggling<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US will soon start bombing alleged drug cartel targets on land, US President Donald Trump told reporters in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid a massive US military buildup in the Caribbean, which Washington says is aimed at curbing Venezuelan-led drug trafficking. Caracas has denied the accusations, arguing that the US is using them as a pretext to justify invading the resource-rich South American nation.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Washington has killed more than 80 people in strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that it claims were smuggling narcotics.<\/p>\n

“And we’re going to start doing those strikes on land, too. You know, the land is much easier,”<\/em> Trump said at the White House. “We’re going to start that very soon.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Asked to elaborate, Trump added that Washington could expand the strikes to any country allegedly smuggling drugs into the US, specifically mentioning Colombia.<\/p>\n

“Anybody that’s doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

The US military deployment in the Caribbean waters off Venezuela, which has now reportedly reached upwards of 16,000 personnel<\/a>, has been accompanied by increasing political pressure on Caracas.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Washington has offered a $50 million bounty for information leading to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and greenlit clandestine CIA operations in his country.<\/p>\n

Maduro has denied the drug trafficking allegations, accusing the US of “fabricating a new war”<\/em> and regime-change operation aimed at seizing Venezuela’s vast resource reserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
