Trump claims Venezuela’s Maduro is a drug-trafficking threat to the US. Does the data back him up?
The recent escalation of tensions between Washington and Caracas, which has led to the United States deploying at least seven warships to the southern Caribbean, can be traced back to a particular day.
On August 7, US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who has been facing formal drug trafficking charges from the Justice Department since 2020.
Bondi declared that Maduro âis one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the world and a threat to the national securityâ of the United States.
Caracas has always denied these accusations, but within hours, more than 4,000 US military personnel were deployed to Caribbean waters. Days later, more ships, submarines and aerial intelligence units joined them.
U.S. guided-missile cruiser spotted crossing the Panama Canal after warships deployed to Venezuela
A U.S. guided-missile cruiser, USS Lake Erie, was seen crossing the Panama Canal from the Pacific to the Caribbean on Friday night, after the Trump administration deployed warships near the coast of Venezuela.
AFP journalists saw the naval vessel passing through one of the canal's locks at around 9:30 pm and navigating east toward the Atlantic.
The United States has said the deployment of warships to the southern Caribbean, near Venezuela's territorial waters, was an anti-drug trafficking operation.
"I didn't know the ship was going to pass… I was surprised," Alfredo Cedeno, a 32-year-old health technician, who took photos of the cruiser, told AFP.
