President Trump Sends a Direct Message to Nicolas Maduro’s Venezuelan Narco-Terrorist Drug Traffickers Cartel de los Soles

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump authorized a targeted strike that destroyed a drug boat operated by a cartel, resulting in the deaths of 11 Venezuelan narco-terrorists associated with Nicolás Maduro’s regime. The operation, executed by U.S. forces in international waters, signifies the inaugural verified military engagement under Trump’s newly established war powers aimed at cartels — a stark alert to traffickers transporting harmful substances toward the United States.

Trump released intense video footage of the strike, capturing the boat bursting into flames before it sank; all 11 cartel operatives lost their lives, and there were no injuries among U.S. forces. During a recent press briefing, Trump stated that the drugs “came out of Venezuela,” further asserting, “We took it out,” thereby directly implicating Nicolás Maduro’s narco-state. Secretary of State Marco Rubio pledged to take decisive action against cartels that are driving the drug crisis in America, emphasizing the administration's stance that the Venezuelan government functions as a criminal organization.

The recent actions taken by the Trump administration to tackle Latin American drug cartels intensified on Tuesday, as U.S. forces sank a Venezuelan drug-smuggling vessel in international waters, resulting in the deaths of all 11 operatives aboard. The operation, executed under the explicit direction of President Trump, marks a significant advancement in his bold approach to combating cartels and a clear shift from the historically cautious U.S. reactions to international criminal activities.

Trump made a statement on Truth Social, sharing a video that captured the dramatic explosion that sank the cartel’s vessel to the depths of the ocean. “The operation led to the elimination of 11 terrorists in action. He stated, "No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike." “This is a clear warning to anyone considering the idea of smuggling drugs into the United States.” CAUTION!

In a statement to the press, Trump directly addressed the situation in Venezuela, saying, “A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. We removed it.” His comments highlight a significant change in approach that views Nicolás Maduro not as a legitimate leader but rather as a figure akin to a cartel boss overseeing a criminal organization, shielded by the Venezuelan military.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on his way to Mexico and Ecuador, stated that the administration is currently “fighting against drug cartels that are inundating American streets and causing American deaths.” The announcement underscores extensive preparations: in February, the U.S. designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization. In July, Maduro was labeled a narco-terrorist leader, leading to Trump signing an order in August that allowed the U.S. military to directly engage with cartel operations.

A significant operation was carried out on Tuesday, linked to the Cartel de los Soles, a vast network reportedly overseen by Maduro and high-ranking Venezuelan generals. For years, intelligence reports have linked the group to cocaine shipments arriving in U.S. cities, contributing to an overdose crisis. This strike indicates that the United States is shifting its focus from merely seizing drugs to actively pursuing the individuals responsible for trafficking them.

In a significant change of approach, President Trump’s prior executive order indicates that cartel operatives may now be classified alongside terrorists, allowing their activities to be viewed as valid military targets, rather than depending only on sanctions and diplomatic efforts. The footage released Tuesday, depicting Venezuelan smugglers incinerated at sea, conveyed a message that no press release could match: under Trump, cartel networks are not merely under surveillance; they are being obliterated.
