Who's next? Chickenhawk Cadet Bone Spurs hints at military intervention beyond Venezuela

WASHINGTON — If the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term was focused on brokering peace deals around the globe, his sophomore year is gearing up to be one that emphasizes American military power.

That begins with challenging nations in America’s backyard, from adversaries such as Venezuela and Cuba to partners like Colombia and Mexico that Trump wants to more forcefully address narcotics trafficking and illegal migration to the United States. It's becoming a political sore spot for Trump, whose foreign forays are beginning to frustrate some lawmakers in his own party.

After arresting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a deadly raid on their compound in Caracas, Trump and top U.S. officials warned that other countries in the Western Hemisphere and beyond could be the next targets of U.S. intervention.

The list includes Greenland, a territory of NATO ally Denmark, and Iran, which the U.S. bombed last summer. Trump recently threatened to "knock the hell" out of Tehran and said America is “locked and loaded and ready to go” if the regime uses deadly force against protesters.
