The White House<\/a> pushed back on media reports suggesting that President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s administration had identified and was poised to strike military targets within Venezuela imminently.<\/p>\n

Although Trump has signaled for weeks he\u2019s prepared to launch land operations against Venezuela, the White House cast doubt on the new media reports.<\/p>\n

“Unnamed sources don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a Friday statement to Fox News Digital. “Any announcements regarding Venezuela policy would come directly from the President.”<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Trump administration had identified military targets within Venezuela that are being used to transport drugs, although the news outlet said that Trump hadn\u2019t formalized a decision on whether he would launch land strikes against these targets.<\/p>\n

TRUMP TOUTS US STRIKE AS MADURO SLAMS MILITARY \u2018THREAT\u2019 OFF VENEZUELA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump told reporters Friday on Air Force One a decision hadn’t been made about whether he would strike military targets within Venezuela, Bloomberg News reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Miami Herald reported Friday that the administration had decided to conduct strikes against these military installations<\/a> within Venezuela that could come “in a matter of days or even hours.”<\/p>\n

Both the Journal and the Miami Herald cited anonymous sources familiar with the plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Herald reported that the pending strikes were part of a larger effort the Trump administration is initiating to crack down on the Cartel de los Soles<\/a>, which Attorney General Pam Bondi has said Venezuela\u2019s President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro heads up.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration does not recognize Maduro as a legitimate head of state, and the administration beefed up the reward for information leading to Maduro\u2019s arrest to $50 million, claiming he is “one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP UNLEASHES US MILITARY POWER ON CARTELS. IS A WIDER WAR LOOMING?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the U.S. military has ramped up its attacks against alleged drug boats in Latin America \u2014 totaling at least 14 strikes since the beginning of September. Additionally, Trump has instructed the U.S. Navy\u2019s newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford<\/a>, to head to the region.<\/p>\n

Brent Sadler, a senior fellow for naval warfare and advanced technology at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington, said that the carrier\u2019s presence means Trump has additional resources to conduct more strikes against cartels. Meanwhile, Trump has routinely said for weeks he may move ahead with land operations against Venezuela next, in addition to his sea strikes.<\/p>\n

“The Ford\u2019s arrival in SOUTHCOM area is not unprecedented but given the ongoing attacks on Cartel boats significant. I see this move as intended to deter Venezuela from escalating the crisis and providing the President extra options should he want to increase the attacks on the Cartels,” Sadler said in an email to Fox News Digital on Monday. “That said, I would anticipate the Ford\u2019s air wing being very active in air surveillance and defense.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP SAYS ‘WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS’ WHEN ASKED ABOUT POSSIBILITY OF STRIKING VENEZUELA AMID RISING TENSIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

After news broke that the Ford would head to the region, Maduro accused Trump of “fabricating a new eternal war.”<\/p>\n

“They promised they would never again get involved in a war, and they are fabricating a war,” Maduro said in a national broadcast on Friday.<\/p>\n

Even so, not all lawmakers are on board with Trump\u2019s strikes in Latin America. Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced a war powers resolution in October to bar U.S. armed forces from engaging in “hostilities” against Venezuela.<\/p>\n

“The Trump administration has made it clear they may launch military action inside Venezuela\u2019s borders and won’t stop at boat strikes in the Caribbean,” Schiff said in an Oct. 17 statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
