After multiple lethal strikes on Venezuelan vessels and a death toll of at least 27, US President Donald Trump today confirmed that his administration has authorised the US Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) to conduct covert operations within the South American country.
The authorization comes after months of an intensified US presence in Caribbean waters and at least five confirmed kinetic strikes conducted by the US military within the Caribbean Sea.
The exact locations of these strikes, details of the dead, and type of cargo on board these vessels have never been confirmed by the White House.
