The USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, is part of a growing US military presence in the Caribbean, reportedly aimed at Venezuela amid escalating tensions. Over the past 22 weeks, the US has conducted multiple strikes against alleged drug smuggling boats, raising legal concerns about targeting practices. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro claims these actions are part of a US strategy to seize the country’s vast oil reserves. With increased air and naval operations, the situation suggests a potential conflict on the horizon.
