United States President Donald Trump warned that Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro’s days are numbered during a CBS interview released on November 2.
Asked if the U.S. was going to war against Venezuela, Trump replied: “I doubt it. I don’t think so.” However, when asked if Maduro’s days as president were numbered, the president replied: “I would say yeah. I think so.”
Trump also appeared to deny multiple recent reports indicating that the U.S. military is preparing to attack military targets allegedly linked to drug cartels inside Venezuela and could do so within days, although he did not rule the idea out completely.
“I wouldn’t be inclined to say that I would do that,” he said. “I’m not going to tell you what I’m going to do with Venezuela.”
Tensions have been on the rise between the two countries over the drug problem since August, when the Trump administration doubled the reward for the arrest of Maduro to $50 million on drug trafficking charges then deployed an amphibious ready group with thousands of marines close to the Caribbean Sea on a so-called “counter narco-terror operation”.
Recent days saw even more escalation by the U.S., which bolstered its naval deployment in the Caribbean with an entire carrier strike group.
The U.S. military has already carried out 15 strikes against boats allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 61 people. The latest strike, announced by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on November 2, took place in the Caribbean.
“This vessel—like EVERY OTHER—was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike,” Hegseth said on X.
“These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home—and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them, and kill them,” he added.
Despite Trump’s attempts to maintain ambiguity, more and more signs of a near U.S. attack on Venezuela are appearing every day.
A report published by Reuters on November 2 revealed that the U.S. military is upgrading and rebuilding facilities at a military base in Puerto Rico, close to Venezuela.
The news agency said that it received satellite images showing reconstruction work that began at the former Roosevelt Roads military base. It also noted that the U.S. is building facilities at civil airports in Puerto Rico and Saint Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, approximately 500 kilometers from Venezuela.
In preparation of an attack by the U.S., Venezuela has been mobilizing, deploying air defenses and conducting military exercises focused on decentralization.
The U.S. is clearly interested in a regime change in Venezuela. Trump’s recent remarks clearly indicate this. This does not, however, mean that the U.S. military will invade Caracas to achieve this goal. Any attack on the country will likely be limited, and designed to weaken Maduro rather than outright remove him from power. This would open the way for the U.S. to tap into the country’s vast oil reserve, the largest in the world.

the us ruling oligarchy talking heads used so much fabricated evidence so many times and spouting such a load of pretentious nonsense, they lost any credibility and their lies do not hide anymore the crimes of their bosses whose pathologically unreasonably high levels of greed, bullying and murderous aggressivity are to be taken seriously.
that was under the bush’s and clinton’s era .both of them were totally embroiled in drugs through mensa airport ,built for purpose .there’s not been an actual president in america who wasn’t a pawn since truman and kennedy .imo untill now .obama was the biggest sock puppet of all allegedly .
trump is a crazy son of a b«itch. the man don’t even exist.
are you ok obviously not they have medications now that can treat delusional thinking .
vai ver se lá fora está a chover, ó delusionado.
how dare venezuela have the right to ownership and use all that oil that is under their soil? no oil or central banking currency corporation can allow the venezuelan chavisata population rights to its own resources. the people of the us will not knowingly permit another endless decades long jungle war.
it’s not about oil .it’s about south america smuggling drugs into north america for reasons of forcing the us to have to keep printing more notes that means the gov has to buy more currency from the mint owners .at face value of each note ,not cost price of production so with inflation through land prices ,they buy massive debt. that’s what it’s about its economic warfare as is sending illegals in by the millions demanding welfare and medical benefits. it’s commercial corruption .allegedly
biden printed 21 trillion in notes to intentionally send millions to iran in top of the hundreds of millions obama sent in suitcases in cash earlier .and to cause global inflation which we all see in housing costs and car prices ,the two items the world’s government don’t include in their inflation figures ( for obvious reasons ) .the 21 trillion is the biggest indebtedness to the mint owners in world history .allegedly
they are pissed because iran just managed to send 6 shipments of material to venezuela.
paid for by us taxpayers thanks to obama a d biden .allegedly .and now the vatican’s opened a moslem prayer room in the vatican and throughout the middle eastern high society it’s been rumoured king charles converted to islam decades ago .church and crown as one entity .allegedly against america s democracy
as george washinton predicted … “the greatest threat to american democracy will come from pope’s and princes “..
cardinals are princes of the church too.
the media asked if the “days are numbered” wow! trump is getting trumped by the deep state! lmao!

china is so heavily invested in america australia canada and other western countries they can’t afford to make enemies of them who can then seize their investments .under national security .you’re naive .uninformed and under educated imo allegedly .ignorant of economics but heavily propaganda ised with pc spih ditties rolled out by agents of globalism .allegedly .
well ,who would have thought ant american president would gave the audacity to challenge south america’s “neutrality ” .wonders will never cease. it would have been my first move actually in his position but i never thought he would dare.
allegedly .
now for once someone’s actually calling the bluff and saying hold your horses pal ,you want war ,well you’ll get it but on your turf this time not ours .pal .
