Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has raised concerns about the United States’ naval buildup in the Caribbean, accusing the US of seeking regime change in his country. The military deployment, authorized by President Trump as part of efforts to disrupt drug cartel activity, has been met with criticism from Maduro who views it as an intervention in Venezuela’s affairs.
Maduro stated that the US is using military threats to push for regime change in Venezuela, describing it as the biggest threat the continent has seen in the last 100 years. Despite the pressure, Maduro emphasized that Venezuela is prepared to resist any attempts at destabilization.
The Trump administration has accused Maduro of being involved in drug trafficking, offering a $50 million reward for information leading to his arrest. The Pentagon has highlighted the impact of drug cartels on regional security, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts to combat their activities.
The situation in Venezuela remains tense as the US naval presence in the Caribbean continues to raise concerns about potential military intervention. Maduro’s government is closely monitoring the situation and is determined to defend Venezuela’s sovereignty against external threats.
