The US is preparing to initiate “new operations” against Nicolas Maduro, following a significant airspace warning and a bold nuclear bomber “demonstration of attack.”

This recent escalation between Washington and Caracas occurred as several major airlines canceled flights to Venezuela in reaction to a concerning flight alert.

Sources from the White House indicated that Trump is ready to initiate a new phase of operations in the upcoming days.

They also mentioned that the US is likely to employ covert operations as the initial component of any actions taken against Maduro.

Another official from the White House stated that Trump is “not ruling anything out.”

The source elaborated: “President Trump is prepared to utilize every aspect of American power to prevent drugs from flooding into our nation and to bring those accountable to justice.”

This comes after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) on Friday.

The alarming alert informed pilots, airlines, and air traffic controllers about a “potentially hazardous situation” in and around Venezuela.

Shortly after, it was reported that a B-52, accompanied by KC-135 Stratotankers and fighter jets, “conducted a bomber attack demonstration” near Venezuela, according to authorities.

This striking display of military capability also featured a supersonic F/A-18E fighter jet that took off from the USS Gerald Ford.

The disturbing FAA notice cautioned about a “deteriorating security situation and increased military activity in or around Venezuela.”

It stated: “Threats may pose a potential risk to aircraft at all altitudes, including during overflight, arrival and departure phases of flight, and/or airports and aircraft on the ground.”

This chilling warning followed the US president's refusal to dismiss the possibility of airstrikes on Venezuela.

Trump is currently amassing a substantial military presence near Maduro’s shores as he intensifies pressure on the dictator to relinquish power.

Washington’s offensive against “narco-terrorists” has also resulted in numerous lethal operations against suspected drug-smuggling vessels, alongside thousands of marines deployed to the region.

On Friday, Washington officially designated Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization.

This action strikes at the heart of tyrant Maduro’s power structure, labeling his inner circle as “narco-terrorists.”

By categorizing Cartel de los Soles as an FTO, America effectively branded the Venezuelan state – or at least those in power – as a terrorist-supported narco-regime.

For the first time, the US is regarding Maduro’s administration not merely as authoritarian or corrupt, but as a regional security threat.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the cartel – operated from within the Venezuelan government – has corrupted the nation’s military, intelligence, legislature, and judiciary, with Maduro at its helm.

This designation will take effect on November 24, intensifying Trump’s campaign against what it describes as an illegitimate regime using the state for organized crime.

The latest display of force includes a carrier joining a fleet of nearly a dozen Navy ships and approximately 12,000 troops targeting what it labels “narco-terrorists” in the Western Hemisphere.

Maduro has also expressed his willingness to engage in face-to-face discussions with Trump as he faces increasing pressure to capitulate.
