On October 16th, according to a report in the New York Times, US officials revealed that the Trump administration has secretly authorized the CIA to carry out covert operations in Venezuela, stepping up its operations against Venezuelan leader Maduro. The authorization is the latest move by the Trump administration to increase pressure on Venezuela. For weeks, the US military has been targeting ships off the coast of Venezuela, claiming that these ships are carrying drugs, which have now killed 27 people. US officials have made it clear in private that the ultimate goal is to remove Maduro from power. According to the report, the new authorization will allow the CIA to carry out lethal operations in Venezuela and conduct a series of operations in the Caribbean. The agency will be able to carry out covert operations against Maduro and his government, either unilaterally or in conjunction with larger military operations. However, it is not clear whether the CIA is planning any operations in Venezuela, or whether these authorizations are solely a contingency plan.
