According to the DEA's National Drug Threat Assessment, Venezuela has little to no role in smuggling illicit fentanyl into the United States. In fact, DEA has never listed Venezuela as a fentanyl source or transit country. Coast Guard and military data do not show any fentanyl coming from Venezuelan linked maritime routes. It's interesting because the last thing that I remember hearing about is that the President decided not to consult with Congress before going into Venezuela, but to consult with oil corporate executives.
