In recent days, there has been a dramatic increase in the United States military presence in the Caribbean near Venezuela. This development comes as President Donald Trump intensifies his offensive against drug traffickers who smuggle illicit substances such as fentanyl into United States territory under orders from dictator Nicolás Maduro.
There are now a total of 7 drug boats that United States forces have neutralized as part of their operation in the Caribbean Sea. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also announced the creation of a new Joint Anti-Narcotics Task Force, which will operate near Southern Command and will aim to "crush the cartels, stop the poison, and keep America safe."
There are at least seven United States Navy warships, as well as a nuclear submarine, present in the area, near the waters controlled by the narco-chavista regime. It is also estimated that 10,000 United States troops are deployed in the region.
