It appears President Trump has made up his mind regarding land strikes on Venezuela. After months of speculation of possible land strikes on Venezuela by the U.S. military, President Trump has given his most clear signal yet the U.S. is about to conduct airstrikes on Venezuela’s mainland. While giving a press briefing on Thanksgiving, the 47th President shared land strikes will be coming soon to Venezuela. CNN reported more on Trump’s latest remarks on Venezuela: President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, telling service members during a Thanksgiving call that efforts for strikes on land will be starting “very soon.” “In recent weeks, you’ve been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many. Of course, there aren’t too many coming in by sea anymore,” Trump told service members in the call. “You probably noticed that people aren’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also,” the president continued. “The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon. “We warn them: Stop sending poison to our country,” Trump added. Watch President Trump here: Backup here if needed: HOLY SHlT: Trump just threatened LAND STRIKES inside Venezuela! “Stopping the poison by land is gonna start VERY SOON. The land is EASIER.” pic.twitter.com/RN1cQjtn77 — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) November 28, 2025 Newsweek reported Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is getting ready for a potential war with the U.S.: Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro escalated his confrontation with the United States, rallying tens of thousands of supporters across Caracas as he framed the moment as a historic battle for national survival. Brandishing a sword and dressed in camouflage fatigues, Maduro said: “We must be ready to defend every inch of this blessed land from imperialist threat or aggression, no matter where it comes from.” Tuesday’s show of force unfolded as tensions with President Donald Trump’s administration reached their highest point in years, fueled by new U.S. designations, military deployments, and spiraling accusations between Washington and Caracas. The confrontation has become one of the most volatile flashpoints in the Americas. U.S. pressure on Caracas stems from accusations that Maduro and senior officials are linked to narcotrafficking networks, including Washington’s designation of the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, along with the deployment of major naval assets for what it describes as counter-narcotics operations.
