What We're Tracking A potential U.S. strike in Venezuela. The Trump administration has reportedly decided to attack military sites in Venezuela in strikes that could occur at any moment, though U.S. President Donald Trump has denied this. Either way, additional kinetic strikes on drug trafficking boats or planes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean will continue this week. U.S. strikes in Venezuela could target drug trafficking labs, camps or airstrips, or dual-use military ports and airports given the direct or indirect involvement of many members of Venezuelan armed forces in drug trafficking. Attacks on civilian or political assets are less likely.
