U.S. Destroys Alleged Venezuelan Drug Dock in Strike, Trump Says

A U.S. military strike has destroyed an alleged drug-loading dock in Venezuela, President Donald Trump announced. The operation targeted a facility that Washington claims was used to ship illegal narcotics. President Trump stated the strike caused a "major explosion." This action marks a significant escalation in U.S. pressure on the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The United States accuses Maduro and his associates of trafficking drugs to fund their regime. Venezuela has not yet commented on the reported strike. The U.S. has previously imposed severe sanctions on Caracas, aiming to remove Maduro from power.
