The aim of the attacks is to destroy military facilities that are used for drug trafficking. According to the USA, these are controlled by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and high-ranking members of the government.
It remains unclear for now whether Maduro himself will be the target of the US attacks. But a source tells the Miami Herald that Maduro is “trapped” and will soon no longer be able to leave the country, even if he wants to. There are also said to be several generals who are willing to extradite him – the USA has announced that it will reward information leading to Maduro’s arrest with $50 million.
