US EditionVenezuela Claims CIA 'False Flag' Attack Foiled, as US Deploys Bombers
Venezuela says it stopped a CIA-backed false-flag attack on a US warship to frame Caracas, aiming to justify aggression and remove President Maduro, officials said.
- On Monday, Venezuela said it thwarted a CIA-linked plan to attack a US warship and blame Caracas, and Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said he informed Trinidad and Tobago about the plot.
- After reported arrests, Venezuelan authorities argued US President Donald Trump recently approved covert action in Venezuela and Venezuelan officials claim mercenaries were arrested to oust President Nicolas Maduro.
- Sunday the USS Gravely, a US guided-missile destroyer, docked in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, for a four-day visit including joint training, while Venezuela noted the US deployment features seven warships and Gerald R. Ford.
- Calling it a provocation, Venezuelan officials said Foreign Minister Yvan Gil stated authorities were dismantling a CIA-linked plot within Venezuelan territory, given Venezuela's east coast proximity to Trinidad.
- Rising tensions stem from a pattern of naval activity and the US naval deployment in the Caribbean, which includes the US aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford and has seen 10 attacks killing 43 people, increasing regional tensions.
