According to CCTV news, flight tracking data showed that on October 23 local time, at least one US B-1B bomber approached the coast of Venezuela. This is the second time in a week that a US military aircraft has carried out such a display of force.
Earlier in the day, when asked about the report that the United States sent B-1B bombers near Venezuela, US President Trump replied that it was inaccurate, but he also said that the United States was dissatisfied with Venezuela for many reasons. Trump also said that ground military action will be seen in Venezuela soon.
It is understood that as part of the so-called anti-drug operation, the United States has deployed invisible warplanes and naval ships, but has not yet released evidence of its fight against targeted drug smuggling.
Historically, the U.S. CIA has planned, launched or participated in coup d’état in Latin America on several occasions.Venezuela’s Defense Secretary, Padrino Lopez, said on Monday that any action by the U.S. CIA to undermine national stability would end in failure.
Lopez said that the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Venezuelan Army) and militia are conducting the "Independent Coast 200" defensive military exercise nationwide, and all troops have entered a state of combat readiness to implement the instructions of President Maduro.
Since September, the U.S. government has claimed to sink several so-called “drug ships” and kill dozens of “drug traffickers” in Venezuelan overseas international waters, and has admitted to authorizing the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency to conduct covert operations in Venezuela.
Venezuelan President Maduro has repeatedly accused the United States of intent on regime change in Venezuela through military threats and military expansion in Latin America.
