CNN is reporting that President Trump will host an Oval Office meeting on Monday evening focused on Venezuela, with senior defense and national security officials expected to attend.

The meeting follows Trump’s declaration that Venezuelan airspace is closed and reports that he spoke with President Maduro after a recent maritime incident but the details of the meeting were not discussed.

The US has been conducting strikes on alleged drug boats in the region which have reportedly killed 80 people. There was a report last week that Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered a follow-up strike on a suspected drug vessel after an initial strike did not kill everyone on board, leading to a backlash that the actions may have crossed the line with respect to war crimes. .
