US labels Sun Cartel a terrorist organization and names Venezuelan president as its leader
Trump: 'We'll probably have a conversation with Maduro. We'll see how that goes'
The United States portrays the Sun as a terrorist and the Venezuelan president as its leader
America has increased the pressure on Venezuela the most.US President Donald Trump is under pressure from many sides.He called the Cartel of Sun a terrorist organization and appointed the President of Venezuela as the leader of this drug trafficking network.He has sent the largest military deployment to the region in the Caribbean Sea in many generations.He is bombing drug boats traveling near the coast of Caribbean countries.talkWe'll see how it goes. They want to talk," the Republican said Sunday before boarding Air Force One at West Palm Beach Airport. Trump declined to elaborate when asked by reporters.
The American president's words were spoken at the moment of greatest tension in Venezuela, and analysts expect military intervention at any time.The Trump administration has maintained diplomatic and military escalation since August last year.
This Sunday, the State Department announced that it will designate the Cartel de los Cartel a terrorist organization as of November 24.A move that would serve to justify military action on the territory of Venezuela.
We asked if there was any military involvement with the government in Venezuela and if we were working with the kingdom."Tell Mexico (Rubio) that we will not go through Mexico, we cannot give them permission to pass into Venezuela, and that it is not necessary to get their permission. "The only thing I do not want to leak, and our weapon, our weapon is at risk when it is exposed," he said.
"In fact in Venezuela, the color of the sun is guided by another Madero compound, it has polluted Madero's secretary Marco Rubio said the statement. It is considered a terrorist group and prevents the employment of financial activities by the group or any person associated with it.
The White House retracted the work it had done in 1989.The United States has accused the President of the United States of America of using drugs.The operation of Panama began, which ended with the arrest and arrest of the US military Noriga, democracy in the country.
Trump's statements come as America's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, confirmed this Sunday that it is already in the waters of the Caribbean Sea with other escort ships after a nearly month-long trip from Europe.The fleet will join more than 15,000 troops in the largest US military presence in the region in recent decades.And it opens the door to a difficult military operation in Venezuela.
"Neither Maduro nor his officials represent the legitimate government of Venezuela," added the statement of the department headed by Marco Rubio.The White House believes that the Sun Cartel, along with other terrorist organizations such as the Terran de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel, are responsible for terrorist violence in the region, as well as drug trafficking to the US and Europe, according to the State Department.
All moves by the Trump administration are in the same direction.Concentration of military forces in Caribbean waters near Venezuela.A White House intern suggested a few weeks ago that he might order field operations in the Caribbean country to "stop the importation of drugs."
He had spent several days discussing possible goals with the general staff.Last Friday night, when he followed Air Force One to Florida, where he spent the weekend, he confirmed that "I know better than that" about the next steps and targets.
The pressure of the United States on Venezuela to oust Maduro has increased since last summer. In early August, the White House offered a $ 50 million (almost 43 million euros) reward for information leading to the arrest of the Venezuelan president as the suspected leader of Groupe Sol, a Narco-Terrorist plot that reached the Chavista leadership and linked it to the strongest criminal forces in Mexico and Colombia.
Based on these allegations, the United States - without any court decision - launched attacks on alleged drug vessels operating in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela and in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Colombia.The US military bombed a total of 21 ships loaded with drugs, killing 83 people.U.S. officials have never provided evidence that drug vessels work for drug cartels.
In fact, the US Treasury included Colombian President Gustavo Petro on OFAC's list of people sanctioned for alleged links to drug trafficking.He accused him of being a partner of the Venezuelan regime: "connecting himself with the narco-terrorist regime of Nicolás Maduro Moros and the Cartel of the Suns."
