U.S. Greenlights Covert CIA Operations in Venezuela Amid Rising Tensions

                                           Experts say Trump and Maduro are far from reaching an agreement. 

President Donald Trump has confirmed that he has authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to conduct covert operations in Venezuela, a move that significantly escalates Washington’s pressure campaign against President Nicolás Maduro’s government.

The directive, first reported by The New York Times, outlines a strategy that U.S. officials say is aimed at removing Maduro from power. Trump cited two main reasons for the authorization: the alleged migration of Venezuelan prisoners into the United States and the flow of narcotics from the South American nation.

The administration has also offered a $50 million reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest on drug trafficking charges. Reports suggest the CIA now has expanded authority to carry out lethal operations in Venezuela and across the Caribbean region.

Maduro, appearing on national television, denounced the move as an attempted coup orchestrated by Washington. “No to regime change that reminds us of the failed wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya,” he declared, urging Latin America to resist foreign intervention.

The announcement comes amid heightened military activity in the Caribbean, where U.S. forces have already conducted strikes on Venezuelan vessels accused of drug trafficking. Analysts warn that the decision could push the U.S. and Venezuela into a deeper confrontation, with regional stability hanging in the balance.
