Former President Donald Trump announced that the United States conducted a significant military operation in Caracas, Venezuela, early yesterday. In a statement, Trump claimed that the operation was carried out at his direction and involved substantial air, land, and sea forces.
According to Trump, the operation was extraordinary in scope, employing overwhelming military power to achieve its objectives. He described it as a “spectacular assault,” though further details about the purpose, targets, or outcomes of the operation were not specified in his remarks.
The announcement marks a rare instance of a high-profile military action publicly linked to a former U.S. president. It also raises questions about the motivations behind the move and the current diplomatic or military implications for the region.
Officials from the U.S. government and Venezuelan authorities have not yet provided additional statements or confirmed the details of the operation. The international community continues to monitor the situation as it develops.
