The Shifting Tides of Drug Trafficking on Venezuela’s Margarita Island The tourist hotspot of Margarita Island, northeast of mainland Venezuela, is not just the country’s “Pearl of the Caribbean” for its idyllic beaches. It is also a strategic hub in drug trafficking routes to the Caribbean and Europe. Local fishers, criminal networks, and even security officials are involved in this lucrative but risky illicit economy.

Timeline of US Strikes Against Alleged Drug Boats The deadly US military strikes against alleged drug-carrying vessels in international waters mark a quantum leap and an aggressive escalation in US counternarcotics policy, in which drug trafficking is treated as a national security threat equivalent to terrorism.

Since September, the presidential administration of Donald Trump has been directing the United States military to blow up boats and kill their occupants in the Caribbean and Pacific, claiming to be thus countering Venezuela government supported “narco-terrorism.” At the same time, it has been building up a large US military force off the Venezuela shore.

Former Vice President Richard Cheney, who died a few days ago at the age of 84, gave a speech to a convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in August 2002 in which the most noteworthy line was, “There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.” The speech was essentially the kickoff of the intense campaign by the George W.
