Did the U.S. Just Strike Land in Venezuela? Trump Says We Hit a 'Big Facility' Hard

December 30, 2025

Donald Trump has been conducting a war of words with Venezuela and its president, Nicolás Maduro, as he accuses the dictator of running a massive drug operation and sending his output to America, where it kills hundreds of thousands of our citizens.

But it’s not just words that the U.S. president has been lobbing at the South American country — starting in September, the administration has also been taking out dozens of suspected narcotics boats, resulting in the deaths of over 100 alleged drug runners. He’s also increasingly been hinting at land operations.

But have we already carried one out? The president casually suggested in a radio interview Friday that indeed, we have:

President Trump said during a recent radio interview that the U.S. “knocked out” a “big” facility in Venezuela, as the administration continues to turn up the pressure against President Nicolás Maduro.

Asked about Venezuela during a Friday appearance on the “Cats & Cosby” show on New York’s WABC radio, Trump lauded the U.S. military’s attacks against purported drug-smuggling vessels in the region and added that U.S. forces hit a facility two days earlier.

Trump:

[Every time I knock out a boat, we save] 25,000 American lives. It's very simple. And what's happening is, they're having a hard time employment wise. They can't, they can't get anybody.

And... I don't know if either of you read, or you saw, they have a big plant or a big facility where they send, you know, where the ships come from? Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit very hard.

But drugs are down over 97%. Can you believe it?

Neither the Pentagon nor the U.S. Southern Command has confirmed the attack. However, senior officials told The New York Times that a facility had been eliminated, but they did not provide additional details.

The Venezuelan government has not publicly commented on the alleged attack. 

Here’s the president earlier this month explaining why he’s going after Maduro and why he considers the regime such a threat to the United States:

Although one Venezuelan journalist has been reporting on an explosion that allegedly occurred in the country’s second-largest city, Maracaibo, no site has been confirmed.
