Summary

1. Fentanyl Classified as Weapon of Mass Destruction

Action: President Trump signed an executive order classifying fentanyl as a WMD, equating its impact to nuclear or chemical weapons.

Military Measures:
- U.S. strikes on drug-smuggling boats since September, killing ~90 people.
- Deployment of the world’s largest aircraft carrier and warships in the Caribbean.
Geopolitical Angle:
- Venezuela’s leader Maduro accused the U.S. of using anti-drug operations as a pretext for regime change.
