00:00Trump comments on report about B-1 bombers near Venezuela.

00:04Reports say two U.S. B-1 bombers flew near Venezuelan airspace from Texas,

00:09staying in international territory.

00:11The move, amid rising tensions, follows a recent U.S. military attack demonstration in the region.

00:18But President Donald Trump didn't waste time shooting the story down.

00:21No, that's not accurate, he said when asked directly.

00:25Still, his next sentence cut through the uncertainty.

00:28But we're not happy with Venezuela.

00:31That simple statement, vague but loaded, was the only clarity he offered.

00:37The Trump administration is escalating the war on drugs, framing it as counterterrorism.

00:42Land-based strikes are being considered, with Congress to be notified.

00:47This week alone, U.S. forces launched two Pacific strikes on suspected drug smuggling vessels,

00:52killing five, part of a broader campaign that has claimed at least 37 lives,

00:57and expanded from the Caribbean to the Pacific.

01:00And the language coming out of Washington is only growing more forceful.

01:04Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth didn't mince words.

01:08We will treat you like we treated Al-Qaeda, he said, referring to the cartels.

01:11That line, so stark and final, signals a major escalation in both tone and policy.

01:25The Trump administration's aggressive anti-drug operations face regional pushback.

01:30Colombia and Mexico urge diplomacy and adherence to international law,

01:34while the U.S. touts seizures and arrests as evidence of success.

01:39Tensions with Venezuela remain high, with reports of U.S. bombers near its airspace

01:43raising questions about whether this was a warning or a precursor to further action.

01:48The Trump administration's unclear stance on military action near Venezuela,

01:53combined with strikes at sea and possible bomber activity,

01:56raises uncertainty about whether the campaign remains a regional anti-drug effort

02:00or risks escalating into a broader conflict.

02:04The next headlines may reveal how far this is going.
