The Wall Street Journal has reported that US President Donald Trump expressed concern about launching a military operation against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. According to the publication's sources, the White House leader doubts that a change of power can be achieved through force and prefers to increase pressure through sanctions and operations against drug cartels.
Three scenarios were presented to the White House: from taking economic measures to carrying out precise airstrikes on military targets. However, sources say that Trump refrained from direct military intervention, favoring a gradual increase in pressure, as he is concerned about repeating unsuccessful previous attempts at regime change.
