President Donald Trump suggested this week that U.S. forces may have carried out a direct strike on a major drug-related facility inside Venezuela, a development that\u2014if confirmed\u2014would represent a significant escalation in his administration\u2019s campaign against narco-trafficking and the Maduro regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that conversation, Trump appeared to reference a successful strike on a fixed facility connected to those operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey have a big plant or a big facility where the ships come from,\u201d the president said. \u201cTwo nights ago, we knocked that out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
