The US military presence off the coast of Venezuela is causing tensions within the Republican Party. A recent YouGov poll shows Republican support for the measure has fallen 10 percent in recent weeks. This comes at a time when some Republican lawmakers are questioning President Trump’s claim that he has sole authority to carry out deadly strikes against boats allegedly smuggling drugs into the United States.
At least 57 people have been killed in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific in recent months, with little or no oversight. Large numbers of warships, drones, bombers and Marines have gathered off the Venezuelan coast, and Trump recently confirmed that the CIA is conducting covert operations against drug cartels in the country. Some foreign policy experts are speculating that the president may be plotting to topple Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, who is wanted with a $50 million bounty for his alleged involvement in the drug trade.
After the US announced it would conduct military drills with Venezuelan neighbor Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela’s vice president claimed the drills were designed to provoke war in the Caribbean. According to YouGov’s poll, 58% of Republicans currently support the U.S. military presence outside Venezuela’s borders, compared to 68% in September. However, only 28% of Republicans would support an invasion of the country, while 38% would oppose it.
The Miami Herald recently reported that the government had identified several military facilities on Venezuelan soil that it planned to attack. When the president was asked by reporters on the return flight on Air Force One about the accuracy of the reports, he denied them without further explanation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio mocked the Herald’s reporting in a post on X, calling the sources unreliable. A Pentagon spokesman told Axios that the Herald’s reporting was false and emphasized that troops are risking their lives to protect the American people from narco-terrorists.
