CBS News poll finds most would oppose U.S. military action in Venezuela, say Trump hasn't explained

Across party lines, big majorities say the administration needs to explain what the U.S. intends regarding any action, and that it has not done so clearly yet.

Meanwhile, what Americans hear from the White House about inflation is, they say, not what they're actually feeling at home: rising prices and worsening economic views. 

In the meantime, Americans do not think of Venezuela as a major threat to the US. Instead, more see a minor one, and they are largely opposed to potential military action.

So, the idea of potential U.S. military action in Venezuela meets with widespread disapproval. It doesn't get overwhelming backing from Republicans either. 

What to know as US inches closer to direct attacks on Venezuela

The United States appears to be inching closer to directly attacking Venezuela. 

President Donald Trump on Nov. 29 issued a warning to avoid airspace around the South American country. Trump has already signaled imminent land attacks in Venezuela, a country larger than the size of Texas and a population of over 31 million people.

The Trump administration has escalated its threats against Venezuela and its leader, Nicolás Maduro, accusing his government of drug trafficking and terrorism. American military have launched several strikes on vessels near Venezuela that officials accused of smuggling drugs, often without evidence, killing dozens of people.

Now, after months of provocation, the administration may be readying to topple Maduro's government.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
