President Trump announced a ground operation against Venezuela at a White House press conference. Although the specific time has not been announced, various signs indicate that the operation will soon begin. Trump stated that there are many reasons for America's dissatisfaction with Venezuela, including drug trafficking and illegal immigration into American territory. When explaining the necessity of the ground invasion, Trump said that drugs are no longer transported mainly by sea, and all transportation is now done via land. "The amount of drugs transported by sea is about 5% or less compared to a year ago. So now they are transporting them via land, and we will focus on these routes."
Trump instructed the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to seek authorization from the U.S. Congress to deploy the U.S. military for operations in Latin America. Trump said, "Maybe we will go to the Senate, maybe to the House of Representatives, and tell them about this matter. But I don't think they will have any objections. In fact, since we are already discussing this, I think it's a good idea. Pete, go to Congress and tell them about this." Indeed, as Trump said, what do the U.S. congressmen oppose? Venezuela has rich oil resources, which are very coveted by the United States.
The previous night, U.S. fighter jets and an American Air Force Bombardier E-11A airborne battle control aircraft had already been deployed near the Venezuela border. Obviously, they are waiting for the White House's orders before launching a large-scale invasion of Venezuela.
