“‘The Venezuelan government’s collaboration in the fight against drug trafficking was among the best in South America,’ according to former Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Pino Arlacchi. And now, on top of that, Maduro has ordered the more than doubling of Venezuelan forces to monitor drug trafficking. … Despite Venezuela’s stellar past record and the current enhancing of its efforts, the U.S. is still threatening military action if Maduro doesn’t enhance his administration’s efforts against drug growing and trafficking. What makes the question of what Venezuela is supposed to do more difficult is that there is nothing Venezuela can do. The U.S. is demanding that Venezuela make a course correction to correct a problem that does not exist.” (09/23/25)
