US EditionTrump plays down possible regime change in Venezuela; US deploys stealth fighter jets
The U.S. deployed 10 F-35 jets and over 4,500 troops to combat narco-terrorist groups in the southern Caribbean amid rising tensions with Venezuela, officials said.
- On September 6, 2025, President Donald Trump minimized U.S. intentions of regime change while announcing the dispatch of ten advanced F-35 stealth aircraft to the Caribbean region to support missions against narco-terrorist organizations.
- The deployment followed escalating tensions, including a U.S. military strike killing 11 people on a Venezuelan boat accused of transporting narcotics and provocative Venezuelan F-16 flights near a U.S. warship.
- Trump accused Venezuelan President Maduro of leading the Tren de Aragua group, which the U.S. government labeled a terrorist organization earlier this year; Maduro rejected these claims and condemned U.S. actions as attempts to force regime change.
- Trump defended military measures by comparing hundreds of thousands of American overdose fatalities to wartime casualties and cautioned that Venezuelan aircraft would be intercepted and destroyed if they threatened U.S. forces, stating that any planes placing them in a risky situation would be taken down.
- The U.S. has increased military forces in the area, including more than seven warships and 4,500 Marines, heightening pressure on Maduro. However, U.S. officials have yet to provide clear legal justification for recent strikes, and legislative approval for military action against Venezuela or associated groups has not been granted.
