According to the English section of webangah News Agency,citing Al Jazeera,Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro condemned the U.S. deployment of three warships off Venezuela’s coast as an illicit attempt to overthrow his government.
The country’s Foreign Minister emphasized that Venezuela is prepared to confront any act of aggression.
Two days ago, Reuters and AFP reported-citing sources-that three U.S. warships, dispatched under then-President Donald Trump’s orders, would be stationed near Venezuelan waters by the end of the week. This move is part of Washington’s efforts to combat drug trafficking from Latin America.
The naval deployment follows increased pressure from the Trump administration on Maduro. The U.S. recently raised the reward for Maduro’s arrest to $50 million,accusing him of collaborating with cocaine traffickers targeting America.
Sources revealed that an amphibious strike group consisting of three Aegis-class missile destroyers is en route to Venezuelan shores and expected to arrive by next Sunday.
Two anonymous sources told Reuters that these destroyers carry approximately 4,500 personnel, including 2,200 U.S. Marines.
On Monday,Maduro announced plans to deploy millions of paramilitary supporters throughout Venezuela in response to what he called “U.S. threats.”
