This video unpacks why the Trump administration is launching military strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean — and how those operations have brought the U.S. into direct confrontation with Venezuela. It traces Trump’s claim that the cartels are “terrorists,” his justification under self-defense, and the legal gray area surrounding presidential war powers. Through maps, archival footage, and expert analysis, the video examines how far a president can go without congressional approval — and whether Trump’s campaign against the cartels marks a new expansion of U.S. military power in the hemisphere.
