TL;DR

The Trump administration has informed Congress that it currently lacks legal justification to launch strikes inside Venezuela and is not planning any such attacks, although it is seeking a new legal opinion to potentially justify land strikes in the future. The US has conducted 16 strikes against suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific since September, primarily targeting vessels linked to criminal organizations, but officials have not publicly disclosed detailed evidence connecting these vessels to drug trafficking.
