Nicholas Maduro and Donald Trump
The growing conflict between the US and Venezuela now seems to reach a dangerous turn. US President Donald Trump has given a direct warning to Venezuela on Friday. Trump has said that if Venezuela fighter aircraft fly over American naval ships and pose any kind of threat, they will be immediately killed.
In fact, US officials had informed that Venezuela’s army flew its military aircraft very close to the American ship near South America for two consecutive days. After this, the Trump administration took a tough stand. US media reports claim that the White House has announced that the US is sending 10 F-35 stealth fighter jets to Puerto Rico.
Us is considering surgical strike
According to US media reports, the Trump administration is preparing to attack drug cartans operating in Venezuela. Washington has already declared these cartells as a narco-terrariist organization. CNN sources have claimed that the US is considering attacks such as surgical strikes on drug smuggling gangs inside Venezuela. Currently, American warships, marines troops and a nuclear-managed submarine have been deployed just a short distance from the sea border of Venezuela.
Venezuela also warns
The incident was the cause of stress when the US Army tried to stop a ship laden with drugs. 11 people were killed in it. After this incident, Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro termed American allegations as baseless and said that the differences that are there cannot be a military conflict.
Maduro has warned that if Venezuela is attacked, the country will immediately get into an armed struggle. He claimed that he has a regular army of 3.4 lakh soldiers, and more than eight million fighters have been prepared, including reserves, militia.
What does Trump have a problem with the President of Venezuela?
Trump and Maduro’s tussle is not new. The US President has been describing Maduro as narco-smuggler for a long time. In August, the Trump administration increased the reward to $ 5 million on giving information related to Maduro’s arrest. Not only this, America did not even recognize Maduro’s election victory of 2018 and 2024. The Trump administration has increased the reward directly to $ 50 million, accusing Maduro of driving a drug cartel.
