Trump Labels Fentanyl 'Weapon of Mass Destruction'

Former President Donald Trump classified fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, aligning with his administrations anti-drug cartel campaign in Latin America. This move, along with a military campaign targeting alleged drug-smuggling boats, has led to tensions escalating in the Caribbean. Venezuelas leader, Nicolas Maduro, accuses the US of using drug smuggling as an excuse for regime change. The US has linked Maduro to a Cartel of the Suns and offered a reward for his capture. Recently, the US seized a sanctioned oil tanker off Venezuelas coast, further heightening tensions. Maduro has threatened to declare a republic in arms if attacked.
