Trump’s Venezuela attack plan revealed? Shuttered navy base back in action amid U.S. ' ‘war’ plans

The United States has reportedly begun upgrading the dormant Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico, ramping up construction, runway repaving, and installation of portable air traffic and security equipment. Satellite imagery confirms activity since September 17, 2025, signaling preparations for sustained military operations possibly aimed at Venezuela. Upgrades enable fighter jets and cargo planes, and similar expansion is ongoing at civilian airports in Puerto Rico and St. Croix, only 500 miles from Venezuela. The military build-up is the largest U.S. presence in the Caribbean in decades, with officials and analysts suggesting readiness for potential strikes or broader operations as President Trump intensifies pressure on Venezuelan President Maduro under the pretext of fighting drug cartels.
