Trump’s war on Venezuela is an extension of his domestic MAGA agenda

October 31, 2025 1:11 pm

It will not solve America’s drug crisis, nor will it lead to stability in Latin America. What it offers, instead, is a grim reminder that when domestic politics drives foreign policy, war becomes a campaign tool, and peace, a disposable slogan

Venezuela condemns 'military provocation' by CIA as US warship docks in Trinidad and Tobago

October 27, 2025 5:56 am

The USS Gravely, a guided missile destroyer, arrived in the capital of Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday and it is in addition to aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which is moving towards Venezuela.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday announced that the US military carried out a strike on an alleged drug-carrying vessel in the Caribbean. According to Hegseth, the operation was carried out on Tuesday night, and six suspected drug traffickers on board the destroyed vessel were killed. Making the announcement on social media, Hegseth claimed that the vessel was operated by Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Venezuelan drug cartel, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the US. “The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics,” Hegseth said. “Six male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters, and was the first strike at night,” he added. Hegseth further warned that those trafficking drugs into the US would be treated the same way the US treated Al-Qaeda. “Day or NIGHT, we will map your networks, track your people, hunt you down, and kill you,” he said. In a 20-second black and white video of the strike that was posted to social media, a small boat can be seen apparently sitting motionless on the water when a long, thin projectile descends on it, resulting in an explosion. The video ends before the explosion dies down enough for the remains of the boat to become visible again. Thursday’s was the 10th strike by the US military on vessels suspected of carrying drugs since September and the third this week. Out of the ten strikes so far, eight were in the Caribbean and two this week were also carried out in the eastern Pacific. With six more deaths on Thursday, the number of alleged drug-traffickers killed in US strikes since September has risen to 46 people, while two people who survived a previous operation have been repatriated. The strike also came hours after the US military flew a pair of supersonic, heavy bombers up to the coast of Venezuela on Thursday. The flight was just the most recent move in what has been an unusually large military buildup in the Caribbean Sea and the waters off Venezuela that has raised speculation that President Donald Trump could try to topple Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who faces charges of narcoterrorism in the US.
