The Marine Corps general tapped to lead U.S. military operations in Latin America says he's ready to oversee an expanded presence but isn't sure what the Trump administration has planned.

A U.S. Navy admiral who oversees military operations in Latin America has handed off command responsibilities as scrutiny increases over the Trump administration’s deadly strikes on alleged drug boats in the region.

The U.S. military has flown a pair of fighter jets over the Gulf of Venezuela in what appears to be the closest American warplanes have come to the South American country’s airspace since the start of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he's still weighing whether to release the full video of an attack on an alleged drug boat that killed two survivors.

Members of Congress now know that the U.S. military fired upon two people clinging to the wreckage of a boat allegedly carrying drugs — and they want answers.

The Trump administration has built up a fleet of warships near Venezuela as American forces keep blowing up small boats accused of smuggling narcotics for drug cartels.

President Donald Trump had long threatened that he could order military strikes on targets on Venezuelan territory after months of attacks on boats accused of carrying drugs from the South American country.

President Donald Trump has nominated Lt. Gen. Christopher LaNeve to serve as the Army’s second-highest-ranking officer, according to congressional records.

Dozens of reporters stationed at the Pentagon walked out this week and surrendered their access badges rather than sign on to new rules imposed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth they said would restrict how they do their jobs.

The commander of U.S. military operations in the region where forces have been attacking alleged drug boats says he will retire in December.
