President Donald Trump has wanted to use the military to go after Latin American drug gangs that have been designated as global terrorist organizations.
A separate U.S. official told Reuters that in total, about 4,000 sailors and Marines are expected to be committed to the Trump administration’s efforts in the southern Caribbean region.
The official said the process would be ongoing for several months and the plan was for them to operate in international airspace and international waters.
Venezuela’s communications ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Without referring to the warships, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday in an address that Venezuela will “defend our seas, our skies and our lands.” He alluded to what he called “the outlandish, bizarre threat of a declining empire.”
The Trump administration in recent months has already deployed at least two warships to help in border security efforts and drug trafficking.
The U.S. military has already been increasing its airborne surveillance of Mexican drug cartels to collect intelligence to determine how to best counter their activities. - Reuters
