The United States has recently moved a significant number of special operations aircraft, troops, and equipment into the Caribbean region. This deployment is part of a broader strategy by the U.S. government to exert pressure on the Venezuelan government led by Nicolás Maduro. In conjunction with this military buildup, President Donald Trump has implemented a blockade on oil tankers entering and exiting Venezuela, declaring the airspace around the country effectively closed. The potential for military action, including airstrikes, has not been dismissed by the administration, indicating a willingness to escalate the situation further. This military posture raises concerns regarding the humanitarian and social implications for the Venezuelan population, who are already facing significant challenges due to the ongoing political and economic crisis.
