Overview

  • The reported options include using drones to target alleged traffickers and drug-processing sites in the coming weeks, though the White House has not announced a decision and offered only a brief statement to NBC.
  • U.S. forces keep a reinforced presence in the southern Caribbean with multiple warships, a nuclear-powered attack submarine, thousands of personnel and F-35Bs staged to Puerto Rico.
  • Washington says it has destroyed at least three suspected narcotrafficking boats at sea with resulting deaths, claims Venezuela disputes as extrajudicial killings that lack publicly released evidence accepted by neutral parties.
  • Venezuela escalates its posture with militia recruitment, nationwide drills and preparations for possible emergency decrees as its foreign minister denounces an “absolutely illegal” military threat at the U.N.
  • Regional and local concerns intensify as Barbados’ prime minister warns the buildup risks an accident that could endanger island states, Cuba rules out going to war and Venezuelan fishing communities report fear-driven changes to their routines.
