President Trump reviews potential military actions against Venezuela amid escalating tensions as Venezuela enacts new defense laws.

Reports from American media suggest that President Donald Trump has been briefed on potential military action scenarios against Venezuela. Top military officials have reportedly presented Trump with several options for operations that could involve attacks within Venezuelan territory, although the president has yet to make a final decision.

The situation in Venezuela escalated as the comprehensive national defense command law took immediate effect following its approval by the National Assembly and endorsement by President Nicolas Maduro. This represents a significant step in strengthening Venezuela’s defensive strategy since the establishment of the Bolivarian Republic.

According to government statements, implementing this law aligns with the new phase of Plan Independence 200, which involves widespread deployment of comprehensive defense leaders nationwide. This effort aims to ensure readiness against any internal or external threats, achieved through coordinated efforts between the army, security forces, and Bolivarian militia.

In a televised address, President Maduro stated, "With my signature on this law, we begin a new phase of comprehensive defense that unites state institutions, the military, and popular forces into one front to protect Venezuela." Operational zones commenced mobilization orders in states such as Apure and Cojedes as part of an integrated operation involving land, air, maritime, riverine, and missile assets.

This newly enacted law creates a unified coordination framework among various national entities to integrate civilian and military capacities into a cohesive defensive system. Analysts believe this development provides the military with extensive legislative cover for immediate response during emergency threats. The implementation coincides with heightened tensions following the Pentagon's deployment of aircraft carrier Gerald Ford along with three warships to South American waters-a move Caracas perceives as an offensive threat indicating real danger.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez announced that the country is on high alert and fully mobilized. "The entire arsenal of our missiles and land-air forces is now operationally ready," he declared while detailing plans to deploy approximately 200,000 soldiers under Plan Independence directives.

The White House maintains that this military movement is part of anti-drug trafficking operations; however, observers note that its scale far exceeds typical deterrence measures and suggests potential American intentions to undermine Venezuela's government.
