Washington, Nov 1 (NationPress) US President Donald Trump stated that he has not yet come to a conclusion regarding whether the United States will initiate ground strikes within Venezuela, directly opposing media reports suggesting imminent attacks on military sites in the South American nation.

"No, that's false," Trump remarked to journalists while boarding Air Force One in response to inquiries about his decision.

Earlier today, the Miami Herald reported that the Trump administration was poised to execute strikes against military installations in Venezuela, potentially within "days or even hours."

Since September 2, US forces have sunk 15 vessels in international waters across the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, which were alleged to be involved in drug trafficking, leading to at least 61 fatalities.

Pentagon officials acknowledged they are unaware of the identities of all individuals killed in those attacks during a confidential briefing held on Thursday by a panel at the House of Representatives, according to US media sources quoting Democratic lawmakers present.

In recent weeks, the military buildup by the Pentagon in the Caribbean has reached its most significant scale in three decades.

The US Senate is set to vote on a revised war powers resolution designed to prevent US military involvement in "hostilities" against Venezuela as soon as next week, shortly after the Senate turned down a similar proposal.

"The Trump administration has made it evident they may pursue military action within Venezuela's borders and will not limit themselves to maritime strikes in the Caribbean," remarked Democratic Senator Adam Schiff in a statement dated October 17.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has consistently denounced Washington's actions as efforts to destabilize his government and expand US military presence in Latin America. Earlier this month, Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused the US of committing "murder" for the killings of drug suspects at sea.
