Tensions between the United States and Venezuela are escalating sharply as Washington ramps up its military presence in the Caribbean. U.S. Navy assets and fighter jets are operating deep inside Venezuela’s Exclusive Economic Zone, with reports of Pentagon Hornets flying near Caracas. President Donald Trump has ordered a blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers, prompting Venezuela to accuse the U.S. of “state-sponsored piracy” at the United Nations. Thousands of U.S. troops have been deployed to Puerto Rico, raising fears of a wider confrontation as military, economic and diplomatic pressure on President Nicolás Maduro intensifies.
