The situation between the U.S. and Venezuela is intensifying as reports suggest an upcoming phase of U.S. military operations targeting the Maduro regime. President Trump appears to be weighing military action, having authorized covert CIA operations and hinted at a possible troop deployment. Concurrently, the USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has been deployed to the Caribbean, just seven miles from Venezuela’s coast, raising concerns about U.S. intentions. Despite the military buildup, Trump has also indicated a willingness to engage in talks with Maduro, who has expressed readiness for dialogue amid growing U.S. pressure. The possibility of regime change in Venezuela remains a contentious issue, with opinions divided on the efficacy and morality of direct U.S. intervention. As the situation unfolds, the international community watches closely, wary of potential implications for regional stability.
