Venezuela Delays Debate on U. S. Naval Strikes
Venezuela's government has postponed a special meeting to discuss the formation of a team to investigate recent U.S. military actions targeting suspected drug boats near Venezuela and in the Pacific Ocean. The meeting, originally scheduled for an unspecified date, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, though no reason for the delay has been provided.
U.S. Military Strikes and Casualties
The U.S. has conducted approximately 21 attacks on these boats since September, resulting in the reported deaths of at least 83 people. These strikes are part of a broader U.S. military strategy to increase its presence in the region.
Trump's Meeting with Advisors
On Monday, it was revealed that President Donald Trump would meet with his top advisors to discuss Venezuela. This follows Trump's statement that he had spoken with Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.
Investigation Triggered by Families' Meeting
The proposal to investigate these attacks came after a meeting with families who lost loved ones in the strikes. The investigation would focus on claims made in a news report, which alleged that a high-ranking U.S. military official ordered the killing of everyone on a boat during a September attack.
Unanswered Questions
The delay in the meeting raises several questions:
- Why was the meeting postponed?
- What will happen next?
- How will this affect the families involved?
It is crucial to critically examine these events and their implications.
