US EditionTrump plays down possible regime change in Venezuela; US deploys stealth fighter jets
- On September 5, 2025, the U.S. military sent a squadron of ten F-35 stealth fighters to Puerto Rico amid escalating tensions in the Caribbean region near Venezuela.
- This deployment follows escalating confrontations involving Venezuela, including a U.S. missile strike on a drug boat tied to a Venezuelan cartel that killed 11 people.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth justified the strike, comparing cartels to terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, while State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said American leadership has returned to the region.
- Hegseth asserted that they possess full authority to carry out such operations, while Rubio emphasized that vessels transporting cocaine or fentanyl pose an immediate danger.
- The deployment illustrates an intensified U.S. military campaign against drug trafficking in the Caribbean, yet it has sparked legal debates and increased regional tensions.
