Venezuela: A target under the pretext of drug war

In 2025, the United States escalated its long-standing goal of overthrowing the Venezuelan government by launching a new offensive against President Nicolás Maduro.

The US justified this escalation by rejecting the results of Venezuela's 2024 and 2025 elections, which were won by Maduro's party but boycotted by the opposition and deemed illegitimate by the US. The specific pretext used for the increased pressure was accusing Maduro of drug trafficking.

This decision was made in a context of heightened global tensions, including U.S. actions against Iran and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
