Recent developments indicate that the United States is actively preparing a military staging ground near Venezuela, with reports highlighting the modernization of the Roosevelt Roads base in Puerto Rico. This move, seen as a strategic operation, has stirred tensions and raised concerns about its implications for the region. Trump’s potential revival of the Navy base in Puerto Rico for the drug war has also garnered attention, as it positions the island as a key player in combating narco-terrorism. The transformation of the base is part of a broader narrative that intertwines military strategy with geopolitical interests, raising questions about the U.S. role in Latin America.
