A U.S. official claimed Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro should be "sh---ing bricks" due to the presence of warships off its coast.
Speaking to Axios, the official, who was not identified, said the operation could be "Noriega part 2," a reference to the 1989 military operation that ended with the capture of then-Panamanian President Manuel Noriega. He also faced U.S. drug-trafficking charges.
