The deployment marks a major escalation in what the US says is a campaign against drug traffickers, which Trump warns will include "land action".

The US is deploying the world’s largest warship towards the Caribbean, marking a major escalation in its military build-up in the region.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier, which can carry up to 90 aircraft, to move from the Mediterranean on Friday.

The US has been increasing its military presence in the Caribbean in recent weeks, sending other warships, a nuclear submarine as well as F-35 aircraft in what it says is a campaign to target drug traffickers.

    Trump wants a war, but he prefers those who can’t well fight back. It being so one sided probably means it’ll cost a ton more Venezuelan lives. It’s not just about Maduro, but terrorizing Latin America by brutalizing countries that don’t let American companies take their oil wealth. Venezuela is the perfect target for Trump in so many ways, and he’ll be sure to make an example of them.
