The American newspaper The Washington Post noted yesterday that with the arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier in Caribbean waters, Venezuela has placed all its armed forces on high alert.
The outlet assessed that the increased U.S. military presence near Venezuela’s borders signals a rising likelihood of expanded American military action in the Caribbean Sea and suggested Washington might target Venezuelan military bases and airports.
Even though U.S. officials have claimed thier enhanced presence aims to combat drug trafficking, Latin American leaders-including Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro-have called for all countries in the region to prepare for any U.S. provocations.
