Venezuela Mobilizes Military Against US Naval Surge In The Caribbean Coast
As the Trump administration intensifies its campaign against drug trafficking with a naval force led by the USS Gerald R. Ford, Venezuela has launched a massive military mobilization. President Nicolás Maduro describes this as a defense against imperialist threats aimed at regime change. The US deployment includes advanced warships, F-35 jets, and thousands of personnel in the Caribbean, reinforcing regional security and counter-narcotics efforts. While Venezuela prepares its land, air, and naval forces, experts suggest the situation, though tense, stops short of direct conflict.
