Donald Trump y el combate contra los carteles del narcotráfico: «Pronto veremos acciones en tierra en Venezuela»

China está utilizando a Venezuela para el tráfico de fentanilo», denunció hoy Donald Trump -aunque sin pruebas- en una afirmación durante una mesa redonda sobre la lucha contra los carteles de la droga y el tráfico de personas en la Casa Blanca. «Pronto veremos acciones en tierra en Venezuela», declaró al abrir la mesa redonda.
Trump anunció que su primera pregunta a Xi Jinping en su próximo encuentro la próxima semana se centrará precisamente en el fentanilo, por el cual su administración ha impuesto aranceles a Beijing.
Hasta ahora, Estados Unidos ha llevado a cabo operaciones marítimas contra supuestas embarcaciones de narcotraficantes en aguas internacionales.
En tanto, al menos un bombardero B-1B estadounidense sobrevoló el mar Caribe frente a la costa de Venezuela, según datos de seguimiento de vuelos. Se trata de la segunda demostración de fuerza de aeronaves militares estadounidenses en una semana.
El vuelo del bombardero —que el presidente Trump posteriormente afirmó falsamente que nunca ocurrió— se produce mientras Washington continúa una campaña militar contra presuntos narcotraficantes en la región, desplegando fuerzas que han suscitado temores en Caracas de que el objetivo final sea un cambio de régimen.
Datos del sitio web de seguimiento Flightradar24 mostraron un B-1B volando hacia la costa venezolana el miércoles por la tarde antes de revertir su rumbo y dirigirse al norte, tras lo cual desapareció de la vista.
Al ser preguntado en un evento en la Casa Blanca sobre los informes de que Estados Unidos había enviado B-1B cerca de Venezuela, Trump respondió que «eso es falso» y añadió que Estados Unidos «no está contento con Venezuela por muchas razones».

El último vuelo tuvo lugar aproximadamente una semana después de que bombarderos B-52 estadounidenses sobrevolaran la costa venezolana durante varias horas.
«No creo que vayamos a pedir una declaración de guerra contra los cárteles de la droga«, dijo Donald Trump en respuesta a una pregunta sobre si no sería más fácil hacer tal declaración dadas las continuas redadas a embarcaciones de presuntos narcotraficantes.
Las operaciones ahora se abrieron también al Pacífico, cerca de las costas de Colombia, donde militares estadounidenses hundieron ayer una lancha presuntamente del narcotráfico con dos personas.
Esto llevó a una dura reacción desde Bogotá. El presidente colombiano Gustavo Petro acusó a Estados Unidos de cometer «ejecuciones extrajudiciales» como parte de sus operaciones militares en el Caribe y en el Pacífico para frenar el narcotráfico en estas rutas.
«Este tipo de maniobras violan el derecho internacional y constituyen ejecuciones extrajudiciales, ya sean traficantes o desconocidos», declaró Petro en rueda de prensa. «En ambos casos, esto representa un uso desproporcionado de la fuerza, prohibido por el derecho internacional humanitario», añadió.
El presidente Nicolás Maduro reveló que Venezuela cuenta con 5.000 misiles tierra-aire portátiles rusos para contrarrestar el despliegue de las fuerzas estadounidenses en el Caribe.
Washington ha desplegado aviones de combate furtivos y buques de la Armada en el Caribe como parte de lo que denomina esfuerzos antinarcóticos, y ha destruido al menos ocho embarcaciones que, según afirma, contrabandeaban drogas desde Venezuela hacia Estados Unidos
El ministro de Defensa de Venezuela dijo que cualquier operación de la CIA contra su país «fracasará», luego que Trump autorizara operaciones de inteligencia contra objetivos del chavismo.
Estados Unidos desplegó en el Caribe una flotilla de destructores, un submarino y barcos con fuerzas especiales para operaciones militares que llevaron al bombardeo de lanchas «narcoterroristas» procedentes de Venezuela.
Venezuela asegura no obstante que se trata de un plan para derrocar al presidente Nicolás Maduro. Trump autorizó la semana pasada las operaciones encubiertas.
«Sabemos que la CIA está presente no solamente en Venezuela, sino en todas partes del mundo», dijo el ministro Vladimir Padrino. «Podrán meter no sé cuantos cuerpos adscritos a la CIA en operaciones encubiertas desde cualquier flanco de la nación y cualquier intento fracasará».
Padrino supervisó una nueva ronda de ejercicios militares en estados costeros de Venezuela.

Iran arrests dozens accused of spying for Israel in new internal crackdown

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Iranian authorities say they have arrested dozens of people accused of spying for Israel across several provinces, according to state media reports over the weekend.
Fars, a news agency affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported Sunday the West Azerbaijan prosecutor’s office had arrested 20 individuals in the northwestern city of Urmia for allegedly providing Israel with information about military, police and security sites.
On Saturday, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence said it had arrested several «enemy operatives» across the country, including a 10-member group in Mazandaran province and another 10-member network in Khorasan Razavi province, according to Tasnim, a semi-official news agency.
Authorities said the suspects transferred the locations of military installations and economic infrastructure and shared coordinates of public places, academic institutions and research centers with Israel.

In southern Khuzestan province, intelligence officials also reported arresting a three-person «terrorist team» accused of carrying out armed attacks against security forces and government facilities.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Israel has relied on tips from ordinary Iranians to identify targets for strikes inside Iran, citing a senior Israeli security official.
The newspaper said information about potential targets is sent through Israeli Persian-language social media accounts and is verified by Israeli authorities before strikes are carried out.

In a separate development, Bahraini authorities said Sunday they arrested five people accused of passing sensitive information to the IRGC and helping recruit operatives for potential attacks inside the country.
According to a statement from Bahrain’s Police Media Center, the suspects allegedly collected and transmitted coordinates and images of sensitive locations, including hotels, to the IRGC.

Officials said one suspect previously received training at IRGC camps in «trafficking persons and recruiting operatives to participate in implementing terrorist plots.»
The five detainees were referred to Bahrain’s Public Prosecution, while a sixth suspect identified in the case is believed to be a fugitive abroad.

Top California librarian questioned about missing $650K tied to Dolly Parton child literacy program

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California state librarian Greg Lucas is facing scrutiny from lawmakers after roughly $650,000 tied to a statewide literacy program connected to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library could not be accounted for.
The issue surfaced during a Thursday Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee No. 1 on Education hearing, which examined how funds were distributed for California’s participation in the book-gifting program.
Documents shared by the subcommittee as part of its hearing agenda claim that a nonprofit created to help administer the program reported spending roughly $1.2 million, while bank statements provided to Senate budget staff showed $555,000 in expenditures, leaving about $649,000 without supporting documentation.
«I find this to be incredibly concerning,» said state Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, D-Pasadena, chair of the subcommittee. «There’s $650,000 that’s been unaccounted for in a program, a bipartisan effort that was intended to increase literacy among children. This is incredibly serious.»

State Sen. Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, also criticized the lack of documentation, saying the situation raised serious concerns about transparency and oversight.
«That makes no sense,» Grove said during the hearing. «And that reeks of horrific no transparency and potential fraud.»
The California state library did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Lawmakers said Senate budget staff had requested financial records from the Strong Reader Partnership, the nonprofit created to help administer the program, multiple times, including receipts, invoices and bank statements to corroborate expenses.

According to the subcommittee, those requests were made on several occasions between November 2025 and February 2026, but the documentation had not been provided.
During the hearing, Lucas acknowledged that lawmakers had received bank statements accounting for roughly $555,000 in spending but disputed the claim that the funds were unaccounted for.
«I don’t believe that’s correct,» he said. «I mean, we received a final report on the disposition of the money by the Strong Reader Partnership, which has expressed, and we’ve passed this on to you as well, the difficulty in obtaining some of this information because they no longer have any money or members of the partnership since the money was transferred to the Imagination Library.»
He added that his agency has repeatedly asked the nonprofit for additional records and pledged to continue requesting the information.

A spokesperson for the state library told ABC10 in a statement: «The California State Library takes seriously its responsibility to ensure transparency and accountability in the taxpayer dollars entrusted to it. The State Library has provided the Legislature with all documentation in its possession and has repeatedly requested additional records from the Strong Reader partnership. The California State Library remains committed to cooperating fully with all legislative oversight and maintaining accountability in the administration of public funds.»
Pérez gave Lucas seven days to produce the financial records, saying the subcommittee expected invoices and receipts detailing how the money was spent.
