The U.S. is significantly increasing its military presence near Venezuela, with the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group entering the Caribbean just miles from the Venezuelan coast. This build-up comes as President Trump hints at potential discussions with President Nicolás Maduro, raising questions about U.S. intentions and strategy in the region. As military assets are mobilized, there are concerns about possible CIA operations aimed at political change, with some speculating on the consequences of a regime change in Venezuela. Analysts note that while Trump seems open to dialogue, the mounting pressure and military readiness signal a precarious situation that could lead to further escalation. With reports of possible leaflet drops to exert psychological pressure on Maduro, the international community is increasingly alarmed about the potential for conflict, marking a critical juncture in U.S.-Venezuelan relations.
