trump Threatens Military Action โฃAgainstโ Venezuela, Citing Narco-Terrorism
Washington D.C. – October 24, 2025 – former President Donald Trump publicly suggestedโ the possibility of direct military interventionโ in Venezuela, framing โฃthe action as a necessary escalation in theโข “war onโค drugs” and a response toโ whatโค he described as a narco-terrorism threatโค emanating fromโ the South American โnation.The statement,made during a rally on October 24,2025,at 7:40 pm EDT,marks a critically important โคshift in rhetoric and raises concernsโ about potential destabilization in the region.
Trump’s remarks come amid escalating tensions โฃbetween the United States and Venezuela, fueled by accusations of the Venezuelan government’s involvement โคin drug trafficking โand โฃsupport for anti-American actors. While the U.S.has previously imposed sanctions and offeredโ support to opposition figures in Venezuela, a direct militaryโ intervention would represent a โขdramaticโ departure from current policy. The potential consequences โขof such action are far-reaching, โimpacting regional stability, internationalโ relations,โฃ and the ongoing humanitarianโ crisis withinโ Venezuela.
“We will attack Venezuela,”โข Trump โฃstated, according to reports, linking the potential action to combating the flow of narcotics into the United States. He characterized Venezuela as a “failed state”โ controlled by “narco-terrorists” โขand โasserted that decisive โฃaction was needed โto protect American citizens. The former president did not detail a โขspecific plan or timelineโฃ for any military operation.
The announcement promptly drew criticism from โinternational observers and Venezuelan officials.Venezuelan Foreign minister Yvรกn Gil condemned the statement as a violationโฃ of international law and a threat to the country’s sovereignty. โHeโข accused Trumpโ of seeking to destabilize the region for politicalโ gain.
The United โStates has long โbeenโ concerned aboutโ the productionโ and trafficking of cocaine thru Venezuela.Accordingโฃ to a 2024 report by the U.S.โ Drug Enforcement Management (DEA), Venezuela’s strategic location andโค political instability have โฃmade it a key transit route for drugs โคdestined for the united States andโ Europe. The DEA estimates that cocaine โproduction inโ Venezuela increased by approximately 30% between 2022 and 2024.
Trump’s previousโ administration pursued a policy of maximum pressure against the โคVenezuelan โฃgovernment, including sanctions targeting key officials and the country’s oil industry. These measuresโ were intended to force the removal of President โคNicolรกs Maduro and facilitate a transition to democracy. However,Maduro remains โin power,and the country continues to grapple with a severe economic and humanitarianโ crisis.
