Former U.S. ambassador and U.S. policy expert John Feeley said President Donald Trump may feel compelled to strike targets in Venezuela to avoid appearing weak after months of military pressure, even as uncertainty surrounds a reported U.S. operation on Venezuelan territory.
"Right now, Trump needs to destroy some targets in Venezuela," Feeley told BBC News adding that the president faces competing pressures including domestic electoral politics that discourage launching a new war, and expectations from within his administration, particularly from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
