The United States is located in Venezuela's coastal waters within the framework of the operation to prevent drug trafficking from Latin America. According to MSN, according to an American military official, three landing ships will reach the region in the coming week.
The approval of deployment was received a week after US President Donald Trump publicly stated that the US Armed Forces will try to stop the Cartels for the supply of fentani and other drugs.
According to him, one of them is "Soles" Cartel (Cartel de Los Soles), which Washington considers a terrorist organization, despite the doubts about its real existence. AFP correspondents have seen how USS Lake Erie warships pass through the Panama Canal and move to the Atlantic Ocean.
