BIG: Top Trump officials, led by Marco Rubio, are pushing a plan to remove Venezuelan President Maduro, whom they accuse of running a drug cartel.
More than 6,500 US troops are now positioned in the region, and officials are weighing direct operations inside Venezuela.
Venezuelan opposition figures say they are coordinating with Washington on plans for a transition, envisioning exiled leader Edmundo Gonzรกlez taking power if Maduro falls.
While some Trump aides, like envoy Richard Grenell, favor diplomacy, the White House insists it will use โevery element of American powerโ against drug cartels.

Israelโs Minister of Finance Smotrich on Trump's Gaza plan:
After October 7 and two years of heroic sacrifice, returning to the old Oslo-era delusions โ outsourcing our security to others, trading real battlefield gains for polished diplomatic theater, re-empowering Qatar as a central broker, and training a Palestinian police โ is a tragic, backward step.
It risks repeating the same mistakes, forcing our children to fight in Gaza again.
