Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Said the imminent designation of the Cartel de los Soles, which the Trump administration accuses Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro of leading, "brings a whole bunch of new options to the United States" to target the regime.
Local media reported that Hegseth made the claim during an interview with One America News, which had not aired as of Thursday afternoon. The designation, which could pave the way for military action, goes into effect on Monday.
