Dan Caine

General Dan Caine is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement in several significant events, most notably the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Caine was among the top Trump administration officials who briefed Congress on the raid. He also issued a rare invitation to military leaders from 34 countries to discuss combating drug trafficking and transnational criminal organizations in the Western Hemisphere. His role is significant because the U.S. is now intending to "run" Venezuela, and he is a key figure in the military aspect of this endeavor. Additionally, he is involved in addressing concerns about alleged orders to kill survivors of a boat strike in the Caribbean.
