The Pentagon has ordered an aircraft carrier strike group to deploy in Latin America to counter drug-trafficking organizations, marking a significant escalation of US military presence in the region. Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro warned that this move was aimed at "fabricating a war." According to FRANCE 24’s Philip Turle, the deployment signals a broader US strategy potentially targeting regime change. The critical question now is whether the United States will conduct operations on Venezuelan territory. This military build-up was announced by the Pentagon on October 25, 2025.
