Abstract

The article discusses the strategic threat posed by Venezuela to the United States, particularly under Nicolás Maduro's regime, which is supported by China, Russia, and Cuba. It highlights Venezuela's role in drug trafficking and its connections to narco-cartels, which exacerbate regional instability and pose a direct challenge to U.S. interests. The article suggests that the Trump administration has an opportunity to counter this threat through military action and strategic partnerships, particularly by dismantling Maduro's regime and supporting Venezuelan exiles as a potential alternative leadership. It emphasizes the importance of decisive action in Latin America to prevent further erosion of American power and security in the region. [Extracted from the article]
