The USS Gerald R. Ford, the Pentagon’s largest aircraft carrier, has moved into Latin American waters, specifically entering the Caribbean as tensions escalate between the United States and Venezuela. This deployment is part of a broader military buildup that some experts warn could lead to potential conflict. The U.S. has been increasing pressure on the Venezuelan government led by Nicolás Maduro, and discussions within the Trump administration suggest a heightened interest in regime change. However, the Pentagon has recently informed Congress that it currently lacks legal justification for any direct military action against Venezuela. As these developments unfold, concern grows in Venezuela regarding the possibility of U.S. intervention, with Maduro calling on Latin American nations for solidarity.
