President Donald Trump indicated the U.S. struck a "big facility" in South America used for producing drug trafficking boats, stating "two nights ago we knocked that out." The White House, Pentagon, and CIA have not publicly elaborated on the statement, and the Venezuelan government has not commented. This potential land strike, if confirmed, would be the first in the administration's campaign against Venezuela, which has intensified pressure on President Nicolas Maduro. U.S. forces have previously conducted strikes on drug-carrying vessels in international waters.
