    US deploys destroyers off Venezuela in operation against narco-terror groups

    The strategy aligns with President Donald Trump’s policy of ramping up military pressure on drug cartels, including Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, and the Cartel of the Suns

    The United States will deploy three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers off the coast of Venezuela within the next 36 hours as part of an operation targeting criminal organizations classified as narco-terrorist groups. According to Reuters, the vessels are the USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson, all equipped with the Aegis defense system for air, submarine, and surface warfare.
