According to Trump, he said Venezuela is dumping their prisoners in United States and that drugs like fentanyl is smuggled from.m Venezuela to the United States.
I saw online that United States seized 65% of drugs that enter the country through land crossing, 28% through airports and 5% at sea (which will likely be how Venezuela are smuggling the drugs into United States). I make findings if fentanyl is produced in Mexico, the answer is yes and land crossing will be dominant.
I still do not know the reason United States is attacking the country. Is there a good reason United States is attacking Venezuela?
If there was no drugs transported to USA from Venezuela, Trump administration would find another pretending to make more pressure on the Venezuela regime. Trump said it clearly that he want to change the regime and this is to continue the process already started with Biden during his ruling period.
Why the USA wants to change the regime in Venezuela? Because it wants to control its oil resources and manipulate its economy to serve its own interests. The United States interests are mainly bolstering its strategic reserves in petrol and gradually reducing its reliance on traditional suppliers by opening the door to big companies to return again to the Venezuela market. Nothing about drug trafficking.
It is unclear whether the Trump administration has seized or intercepted any drug shipments. However, according to media reports, US forces, including the FBI, the department of homeland decurity, the US coast guard, and the military, seized an oil tanker named Skipper off the coast of Venezuela, in international waters. Later, Trump also confirmed that they would bring that oil back to the United States and keep it.
It's clear they are targeting Venezuela's mineral resources and are prepared to steal even more, there's no war on drugs as they claim.
