Sept 2 (Reuters) - Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday the U.S. military conducted a "lethal strike" in the southern Caribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela after President Donald Trump said U.S. forces "shot out" a drug-carrying boat that he linked to Venezuela.
(NewsNation) — The United States is seeking regime change in his country with a naval deployment in the Caribbean, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Monday in a rare press conference.
Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela have risen in recent weeks amid a large U.S. naval buildup in the southern Caribbean and nearby waters, which U.S. officials say aims to address threats from Latin American drug cartels.
“In the face of this maximum military pressure, we have declared maximum preparedness for the defense of Venezuela,” Maduro said of the deployment, which he characterized as “an extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral and absolutely criminal and bloody threat.”
