The U.S. again sent several aircraft off the coast of Venezuela as the day in which the Trump administration will officially designate the Cartel de los Soles, which it accuses authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro and other top officials of leading, as a terrorist organization. Concretely, five aircraft were spotted in the vicinity of the country.

The Trump administration routinely conducts such flights off the coast of Venezuela. Earlier this month, local outlet Monitoreamos noted that the U.S. flew two strategic B-52H Stratofortress planes identified as TITO41 and TITO42.
