US Media: Trump Approved US Military Ground Strikes in Venezuela Several Days Ago

Golden Ten Data, January 3 – According to CBS, U.S. officials have confirmed that Trump ordered airstrikes on locations within Venezuela, including military facilities. According to anonymous U.S. officials, Trump had approved U.S. military ground strike operations in Venezuela several days before the action began. Sources revealed that military officials had discussed carrying out the mission on Christmas Day, but the U.S. military prioritized airstrikes against “Islamic State” extremist targets in Nigeria. The days following Christmas provided more possible opportunities for U.S. military action, but due to weather conditions, the operation was ultimately postponed.
