The American Ford aircraft carrier entered the Caribbean Sea

According to Isna, the United States Navy announced in a statement on Sunday evening: “The aircraft carrier task force Gerald R. Ford, led by the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) crossed the Angada Strait and entered the Caribbean Sea on November 16.

The American authorities announced such an action last week, and the Pentagon claimed in a statement that this operation is aimed at “disrupting drug trafficking and weakening and destroying transnational criminal organizations.”

Nicolás Maduro has repeatedly indicated that the increase in US military presence in the region is aimed at “overthrow” him.

In August, Washington doubled the reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest to $50 million, accusing him of “connections to drug traffickers and criminal gangs”; A charge that Maduro has denied.

Over the past few days, some American media have reported, quoting informed sources in the White House, that US Secretary of War Pete Hegst, General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, and other senior officials have informed Donald Trump about “military options against Venezuela”.
