Is President Donald Trump Planning to Strike Venezuela?
Questions are rising again about whether U.S. President Donald Trump is planning a military action against Venezuela.

In recent days, American officials have warned President Nicolás Maduro’s government, saying it supports armed groups and creates problems for nearby countries.
The White House has not said anything clear, but some signs show that pressure is increasing.
People inside the Pentagon say U.S. intelligence has noticed unusual Venezuelan troop activity near the Colombian border.
Even though no military orders have been announced, the U.S. Southern Command has increased its surveillance flights in the Caribbean.

Experts believe this means the U.S. wants to keep “all options on the table,” something Trump has often said about Venezuela.
Venezuelan leaders strongly deny the U.S. claims. They say Washington is making up stories to justify an attack. In response, President Maduro has put his military on alert and started new training exercises near important coastal areas.
Other countries in the region are asking both sides to calm down.
The Organization of American States (OAS) warned that any fighting could make Venezuela’s already severe humanitarian crisis even worse.
For now, nothing is certain. U.S. officials say no final plan for airstrikes exists, but the rising tension and military activity have increased fears of a possible conflict.
