US military to focus on quarantine of Venezuelan oil to inflict ‘economic calamity’ on Maduro regime
The White House has reportedly ordered US military forces to focus almost exclusively on enforcing the “quarantine” of Venezuelan oil for the next two months at least, which could dampen the prospect of land operations despite President Donald Trump’s repeated threats.
As per a report by Reuters, which quoted a White House official, the US has not ruled out military strikes against Venezuela, but is currently focused on putting economic pressure on President Nicolas Maduro, who the Trump administration accuses of heading a drug cartel.
