U.S. increases military presence in the Caribbean

The United States has strengthened its naval presence in the Caribbean, deploying the missile cruiser USS Gettysburg and preparing for the arrival of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford. Analysts say this marks the largest naval deployment in the region since the Gulf War. The move comes amid speculation about possible military action against Venezuela, though President Donald Trump has denied any plans to bomb the country. Meanwhile, the United Nations accused Washington of violating international law over maritime operations considered extrajudicial executions.
