An unprecedented attack by American Marines on a cartel-managed vessel of Venezuela this week indicated that the Trump administration is taking a difficult new approach to combat international drug trade.
While the US Army has long worked to combat cartel and international gang organizations starting in the late 1980s, Tuesday’s strike killed 11 members of the train de Argua – which the Trump administration nominated as a terrorist organization in February – marked a certain change from previous seizure and operation.
The former diplomat of the former United Nations of Venezuela told Karakas disgruntled Isa Madina under the Nicholas Maduro rule, “The gloves are closed.” “Recently, the alleged train de Argua Narkotics on the US Marine strike is deeply linked to crimes against humanity under a rule operated outside Venezuela on the vessel and Narco-Atkism marked a significant turn in the fight against international organized crime.”

Maduro claims that we have a ‘change of governance’ through military threat among the Caribbean Buildup
President Donald Trump has made it clear since his first administration that he strongly oppose Maduro’s rule and even announced a reward of $ 50 million for his arrest and punishment.
Trump’s decision to deploy American soldiers from the South American nation on Monday inspired Maduro to reduce the move as an attempt to change the rule and said, “Venezuela has been facing the biggest threat seen on our continent in the last 100 years.”
The White House faced some international pushbacks and questioned what this strike meant for the future American policy when it comes to fight cartel and geopolitics in South America.
State Secretary Marco Rubio saw to set a direct record during Wednesday’s visit to Mexico-where he was also addressing the smuggling of border across weapons and drugs, and said, “The United States President is going to wage war on Narco-Attempted Organizations.”
Rubio argued that the previous policy of seizing and catching “does not work.”
“Because this drug cartel – what they do, they know they are going to lose 2% of their cargo – they bake it in their economics,” he said. “When you blow them, what will be stopped, when you get rid of them.”

Madina argued that Maduro’s “unwell or unable” attitude opened the opportunity window for Trump for the rings of international cartel drugs, given that while targeting a terrorist organization, Marine followed strict rules of engagement while targeting a terrorist organization, which was believed to have drugs for America.
“Venezuela’s train de Argue, who is supported by Maduro, operates like other state-provided terrorist groups, including Iran’s support for Hauthis, Hamas and Hizbullah, destabilizing areas through illegal trade and violence,” said Medina. “International water safe ports are no longer sanctuary for smugglers and smugglers.
“The strike sends a clear warning that those businesses now face decisive and powerful resistance from the US forces and their colleagues,” he said.
Experts suspect that Trump’s final game is excluding his government despite Maduro suspicion.

Although Tuesday’s operation is an expansion of Trump’s anti -Maduro policies, Juan Kruz, a former National Security Council, a former National Security Council, said that he does not believe that it indicates that any major change is on the horizon like a governance change.
“I couldn’t imagine that this deployment was particularly as an objective,” Cruz told Fox News Digital. “But [Trump] Certainly it will take it as a win, if, for some reason, it was the result. ,
