National Assembly President Jorge Rodr\u00edguez stated that extremist local Venezuelan groups might try to plant explosives,aiming to frame others for the attack. Although specific groups or motives were not identified, warnings were sent through multiple channels to the U.S. and a european embassy.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Embassy in Caracas,employing about 150 locals and costing over $6 million annually to maintain,has been suspended since March 2019,after the trump governance evacuated all diplomats. The Trump administration has taken a hard stance against Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, accusing him of leading the Cartel of the Suns drug cartel and increasing U.S. military presence in the region to combat drug trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>the article notes recent U.S. military strikes on drug-smuggling vessels near Venezuela, which have sparked legal debates over the use of lethal force. The U.S. government considers some drug cartels as terrorist organizations and is treating the conflict as a non<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-looks-to-pivot-to-land-drug-trafficking-after-deadly-boat-strikes\/\" title=\"... looks to pivot to land drug trafficking after deadly boat ...\">-international armed conflict<\/a>.

The administration has accused Maduro of being the head of the Cartel of the Suns and being directly involved in the cartel&rsquo;s drug smuggling operations.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. military has significantly increased its presence in the western hemisphere around Central America as the Department of War has taken a much larger role in stopping drug trafficking under Trump.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. forces have carried out at least four strikes on vessels in international waters that U.S. officials have said were cartel members smuggling drugs that would end up in the U.S. Traditionally, the U.S. Coast Guard would interdict these vessels, search them, and, if needed, arrest those on board and give them due process.<\/p>\n<p>These strikes have raised&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3809840\/us-strikes-venezuela-drug-smugglers-legal-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legal questions<\/a>&nbsp;about the military&rsquo;s use of lethal force, while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said they would continue as needed.<\/p>\n<p>After the most recently announced strike on a Venezuelan boat, Hegseth said U.S. intelligence confirmed &ldquo;without a doubt&rdquo;
