Part 5/10:
U.S. Military Options in Venezuela Uncertain
On the foreign policy front, the White House has not ruled out the possibility of deploying American troops to Venezuela. When asked about the military options, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt responded evasively, stating, "There are many options at the president's disposal, and I'll let him speak on those."
This ambiguous stance comes amid reports from Reuters indicating Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has a plan to mount guerrilla-style resistance if U.S. forces invade. Maduro’s strategy involves fomenting chaos within his less-than-impressive military, which consists of approximately 123,000 poorly equipped and often deserting personnel.
