Während die Trump-Administration wegen fragwürdiger Ziele in ihrer so genannten « Drogenkartell »-Kampagne in die Kritik gerät, weigert sich Trump, ein militärisches Eingreifen der USA in Venezuela auszuschließen, während die amerikanische Militärpräsenz in der Karibik mit einem umfangreichen Einsatz von Ressourcen und Personal für groß angelegte Übungen in den nächsten Wochen verstärkt wird.
Breaking news: President Trump said he will not rule out the possibility of sending U.S. troops into Venezuela, as a buildup of U.S. forces in the region — and his increasingly combustible rhetoric — raises the prospect of military action there.
Die Spannungen in der Region um Venezuela nehmen zu, da die Nachbarländer ängstlich auf den nächsten Schritt der Vereinigten Staaten warten. Die US-Militärpräsenz in der Region ist so hoch wie seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten nicht mehr und kommt einer Beinahe-Blockade gegen Venezuela gleich.

Während einer Fragerunde von Journalisten im Oval Office wurde Trump gefragt, ob er die Entsendung von US-Truppen nach Venezuela ausschließen würde und antwortete:
« Nein, das schließe ich nicht aus. Ich schließe nichts aus. »
Trump bezeichnete eine mögliche Militäraktion als Teil von Washingtons umfassenderen Aufgaben in der Region und fügte hinzu:
« Wir müssen uns einfach um Venezuela kümmern. »

Einige Tage zuvor hatte Trump an Bord der Air Force One auf die Frage, ob er sich für ein militärisches Vorgehen in Venezuela entschieden habe, geantwortet: « Ich kann Ihnen nicht sagen, was es sein würde, aber ich habe mich sozusagen entschieden. »
Die jüngste Militäroperation
Die amerikanischen Streitkräfte setzten ihre Kampagne gegen die von Washington als Drogenschmuggler bezeichneten Boote fort und führten am Wochenende einen weiteren Angriff durch. Regionalen Berichten zufolge wurden bei der jüngsten Operation, die am späten Samstag vor der Nordküste Venezuelas stattfand, mehrere kleine Schiffe zerstört, die im Verdacht standen, Drogen zu transportieren.

Mit diesem neuen Angriff wurden seit Beginn der Kampagne im September nun mindestens 22 Boote getroffen und 83 Menschen getötet, eine steigende Zahl, die das internationale Unbehagen über die wahre Natur der Ziele verstärkt.
Ein Appell für den Frieden
Auf einer Kundgebung in Caracas versuchte der venezolanische Präsident Nicolás Maduro am Samstag, die Spannungen mit den Vereinigten Staaten abzubauen, indem er einen Teil seiner Rede in einen Friedensappell verwandelte.

Vor Hunderten von Anhängern beschuldigte er Washington, Venezuela « bombardieren und einmarschieren » zu wollen, und forderte seine Zuhörer auf, « alles für den Frieden zu tun, wie John Lennon sagte », bevor er auf der Bühne kurz den Refrain von « Imagine » sang.
The Trump administration is rapidly escalating its pressure campaign against Venezuela, even as President Trump’s aides provide conflicting accounts of what, exactly, they are seeking to achieve. nyti.ms/49nV4PY
