US EditionU.S. warships to patrol international waters around Venezuela as Trump vows to stop cartels
The U.S. military operation involves 4,000 Marines, guided-missile destroyers, and surveillance aircraft to disrupt narco-terror groups and pressure Venezuela's Maduro regime.
- In recent years, the United States deployed three Aegis guided-missile destroyers—USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson—to the southern Caribbean, supported by 4,000 troops to address drug-related threats.
- Earlier this month Washington doubled the reward to $50 million for information leading to Nicolás Maduro's arrest, following President Donald Trump's designation of Latin American cartels as national security threats.
- About 4,000 sailors and Marines will be committed, supported by P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft, at least one attack submarine, and the Aegis-equipped destroyers USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson.
- Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro responded by mobilizing 4.5 million civilian militia members, while Yván Gil said, `While Washington threatens, Venezuela steadily advances in peace and sovereignty, demonstrating that true effectiveness against crime is achieved by respecting the independence of its peoples. Every aggressive statement confirms the inability of imperialism to subdue a free and sovereign people`.
- Analysts warn the strategy could destabilize fragile countries and revive U.S. intervention concerns, while legal and sovereignty issues persist with Mexico rejecting U.S. operations on its soil.
