Donald Trump is planning strikes on Venezuela within days and has been presented with a suite of military options by his top generals, according to a report.
The president was briefed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, sources told CBS News.
The commander in chief has not yet made a final decision but action could come as soon as this week, the sources said.
Earlier this week, the USS Gerald R. Ford - a nuclear-powered behemoth and the largest aircraft carrier in the world - steamed into the Caribbean.
It joined the biggest force assembled by the Unites States in the region since the Cold War amid growing speculation that America is set to launch an assault to topple the regime of Nicolas Maduro.
Trump has directed the U.S. military since September to launch deadly hellfire missile strikes on alleged drug boats coming towards the country.
The administration's anti-narco efforts have resulted in 19 separate attacks across the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean, with a total of 76 people killed.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.
Hegseth discussed the administration's deadly approach towards dealing with Latin American drug smugglers during a summit in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Wednesday.
'If you're trafficking drugs to poison the American people and we know you're a designated foreign terrorist or trafficker, we will find you and we will kill you,' Hegseth said.
'No one is better at tracking and networking and mapping and hunting than the American military. Been honing those skills for many decades in foreign lands.'
The intelligence community provided information to the president regarding the potential upcoming military operations.

Nuclear Death Fortress. This really needs to be the class name of the next US Navy cruisers
A nuclear death fortress yet.
Wild speculation in an attempt to generate a narrative and force a response from trump.
While it may be possible the LSM would be the last to know anything factual.
The Daily Fail.
Maduro is already packing. Likely was told by the Russians that he’s toast, they traded him for a Donetsk cease fire in place.
And dumping that thug means the Cuban DGI thugs are screwed too.
But best of all, it means the people of Venezuela might just have a chance of getting back what WAS the best country in South America...until the Chavista garbage took over. With the help of the Klinton mob.
Yes. We often telegraph our intentions.
They still have a lot of earl. They need to bring the Yankee companies back to aid in its extraction.
Nuclear Death Fortress would be a great name for a band ... “Atomic Annie” on lead guitar and vocals.
Here is a better plan:
launch crop dusters from the deck of the carrier, using liquid seized fentanyl and spray the known cartel headquarters, drug labs, and presidential palaces
And too many Democrats still have an affinity for the Maduro regime, so whatever Trump does they will be lining up to sabotage it.
Why is Trump so mad at Maduro? Isn’t he “socially conservative”?
Wait ‘til the crew sees this headline ... “Nuclear Death Fortress” will be their unofficial nickname.
Ask your boss in Moscow ...
Next.
Its UK, London-controlled, sensationalist media.
Don’t believe anything they are saying.
“Shock Venezuela strikes,” “Nuclear death force”? Where are the accompanying photos of naked women?
Is this news organ the new National Enquirer?
It’s a feint. The real target is Keir.
