Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world (more than Saudi Arabia & Qatar). If Trump & his team wanted to get rid of drug cartels then they wouldn't be outright destroying "cartel boats" b/c that's not actually an effective strategy for crippling cartel activity.
My point was they are doing something else other than trying to get rid of drug cartels. They are trying to manufacture consent for a war over resources & the drug cartels are their excuse & strategy for provoking Venezuela.
