Tension increases between America and Venezuela
Tension has increased between the two countries since September. The US military is carrying out air strikes on boats suspected of drug smuggling in the Caribbean and Latin America. Critics charge that these actions are “killings without judicial process”. Recently, Trump indicated that the next step could be “ground attacks” inside Venezuela.
Along with this, the Trump administration declared Venezuela’s notorious “Cartel of the Sons” as a foreign terrorist organization. They claim that this cartel is run by top officers of the Venezuelan army and President Nicolas Maduro himself leads it.
