World’s Biggest Warship Enters Caribbean, Venezuela Declares It’s ‘Ready To Win’ In War With US

The USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, arrived in Latin America on Nov. 11, intensifying regional tensions with Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro warned Caracas is “ready to win” if armed defence is required, amid fears the US deployment of the carrier, F-35 jets and six Navy ships signals a regime change plot. The Pentagon said the strike group’s presence strengthens US capacity to detect, monitor and disrupt illicit actors while countering drug trafficking across the Western Hemisphere. n18oc_crux | n18oc_world
