A US warship, the USS Gravely, docked in Trinidad and Tobago's capital on Sunday as part of increased military pressure against Venezuela under President Nicolas Maduro. This move follows the approach of another US vessel, the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford, towards Venezuelan waters. The US has accused Maduro of leading an organized crime group without providing evidence. The warship will remain in Trinidad until Thursday for joint training exercises with local forces. A senior military official from Trinidad and Tobago confirmed that this schedule was recently arranged but spoke anonymously due to restrictions on public discussion of the matter.
