In a significant development, President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that he has authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to conduct covert operations within Venezuela. The announcement came during an Oval Office event, where Trump also hinted at the possibility of land operations in the region. This revelation follows a series of U.S. military strikes targeting alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean, which have resulted in the destruction of at least five vessels and the deaths of 27 individuals since early September. Four of these boats reportedly originated from Venezuela.
