Trump claims US strike on Venezuela drug dock

Donald Trump has claimed that the United States carried out a strike on a dock facility allegedly used by Venezuelan drug traffickers to load narcotics onto boats. Speaking to reporters, the US president said a “major explosion” had hit a location where drugs were prepared for maritime transport, though he did not disclose the exact site or provide operational details. Venezuelan authorities have not yet issued an official response. According to reports by CNN and The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, the explosion was caused by a drone strike conducted by the CIA. If confirmed, this would represent the first publicly known US operation carried out inside Venezuelan territory. Since September, Washington has intensified military actions against what it describes as drug-smuggling networks operating by sea. US officials say more than 20 vessels in the Pacific […]

Venezuela Tells UN US Has Continental Ambitions

Venezuela has accused the United States of pursuing a broader strategy aimed at asserting dominance across Latin America, warning the United Nations Security Council that Washington’s actions go far beyond its dispute with Caracas. Speaking before the 15-member council, Venezuela’s ambassador to the UN, Samuel Moncada, said the pressure campaign against President Nicolás Maduro’s government reflects what he described as “continental ambitions” outlined in US strategic thinking. According to Moncada, Venezuela is being used as an initial target in a wider plan designed to fragment the region and weaken governments one by one. He cited the US National Security Strategy, arguing that it openly frames the future of the Americas as falling under US influence. The remarks came after Venezuela requested an emergency Security Council meeting to address what it calls ongoing US aggression, including air strikes launched in September […]

Trump says it would be ‘smart’ for Venezuela’s Maduro to step down

United States President Donald Trump has said it would be “smart” for Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro to step down amid rising tensions between Washington and Caracas. Speaking to reporters at his Mar a Lago resort in Florida, Trump said the decision ultimately rests with Maduro but warned that defiance would carry serious consequences.​ Asked whether US actions were aimed at forcing Maduro from power, Trump replied that it would probably be wise for the Venezuelan leader to leave office. He added that if Maduro “plays tough, it’ll be the last time he’s ever able to play tough,” in one of his starkest warnings yet.​ The comments come as US naval forces step up operations around Venezuela, including a tightened maritime blockade targeting the country’s oil shipments. Washington has also carried out more than two dozen strikes on vessels it accuses […]

Venezuela condemns US oil tanker blockade order

Venezuela has strongly criticized a new directive by US President Donald Trump ordering a sweeping blockade of sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving the country, describing the move as a dangerous escalation and an act of “warmongering.” The announcement follows the recent seizure by US forces of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast, a development that has heightened tensions given the country’s heavy dependence on oil exports. Caracas argues that Washington is deliberately targeting its main economic lifeline. In a statement published on his Truth Social platform, President Trump said the Venezuelan government had been designated a foreign terrorist organization. He accused the administration of President Nicolás Maduro of involvement in drug trafficking and human trafficking, allegations that Venezuelan authorities firmly reject. Trump also claimed that Venezuela was now surrounded by an unprecedented naval force, warning that the US military […]

US seizes sanctioned oil tanker off Venezuela, sparking piracy row

The United States has seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela in a move that sharply escalates tensions with President Nicolás Maduro’s government and jolts global oil markets. President Donald Trump confirmed the operation on December 10, describing the vessel as a “very large” tanker and hinting that “other things” were also happening in the area.​ US officials say the supertanker was carrying sanctioned crude linked to Venezuela and Iran as part of an illicit shipping network that allegedly supports foreign terrorist organisations. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X that a US seizure warrant was executed by the FBI, Homeland Security, the Coast Guard and supporting military units.​ Video released by US authorities shows helicopters approaching the vessel and armed personnel in camouflage fast roping onto its deck to take control. The ship, previously sanctioned by […]

FG arraigns ex aviation minister Stella Oduah over alleged

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado will not attend today’s award ceremony in Oslo because of a long standing travel ban imposed by President Nicolás Maduro’s government. The 58 year old has been barred from leaving Venezuela for about a decade and has been in hiding since August 2024, when authorities intensified a crackdown on opposition figures after a disputed election.​ The Norwegian Nobel Institute said it cancelled a planned press conference on Tuesday because Machado’s whereabouts and travel plans could not be confirmed. Officials stressed that the ceremony will still go ahead and will highlight the democratic struggle in Venezuela even in her absence.​ Machado was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her leadership in the fight for democracy and human rights under Venezuela’s increasingly authoritarian rule. The Nobel committee praised her for […]

Venezuela bans Turkish Airlines, Others over US warning

Venezuela has banned Turkish Airlines and several other foreign carriers after they suspended flights to the country following a United States security alert. The US had warned its citizens against travelling to Venezuela and flagged possible risks to aircraft operating in its airspace.​ In response, some airlines halted services, citing the security advisory and concerns for passenger safety. The Venezuelan government reacted by suspending those airlines from operating in its territory, accusing them of bowing to pressure from Washington.​ Authorities in Caracas described the US warning as politically motivated and said it was part of ongoing pressure on President Nicolás Maduro’s government. They argued that Venezuela’s airspace is safe and insisted that the decision by some airlines to stop flights was unjustified.​ Officials said airlines that maintain operations in the country will continue to receive full support, while those that […]

Donald Trump Warns Venezuela Against Military Jets Near US Warships

Donald Trump has warned that if Venezuelan jets fly over US naval ships and “put us in a dangerous position, they’ll be shot down.” His remarks came after US officials reported that Venezuelan military aircraft flew close to a US vessel off South America for the second time in two days, according to CBS News. The warning follows a recent US strike against what the administration described as a “drug-carrying vessel from Venezuela” operated by a gang, which left 11 people dead. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro dismissed Washington’s claims, saying that differences between the two countries do not justify a “military conflict.” He stressed, “Venezuela has always been willing to talk, to engage in dialogue, but we demand respect.” Asked by reporters in the Oval Office what would happen if Venezuelan aircraft repeated the maneuver, Trump said Venezuela would be […]

Trump Ends Protection for 250,000 Venezuelan Migrants

The Trump administration has announced it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 256,000 Venezuelan migrants, opening the way for large-scale deportations. TPS was first granted under President Joe Biden in 2021 and expanded in 2023, allowing eligible Venezuelans to obtain work permits and protection from removal. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said the decision was based on “public safety, national security, migration factors, immigration policy, economic considerations, and foreign policy.” The spokesperson added that TPS had created “a magnet effect” for irregular migration and undermined the Trump administration’s border security efforts. The protections will formally expire on September 10, but DHS clarified that the termination will take effect 60 days after its notice is published in the Federal Register. Pending applications — including 3,728 new requests and more than 102,000 renewals — will also be […]
