Venezuela Condemns U.S. Military Activities near Trinidad & Tobago

This report covers venezuela condemns u.s. military with key details and context.

Tensions have escalated between Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago, stemming from Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s belief that U.S. military activities are part of a plot for regime change. He has accused the U.S. of fabricating a new eternal war against his country. Venezuela has also criticized joint military exercises between the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago, deeming them irresponsible and a hostile provocation. This condemnation came after the U.S. guided-missile destroyer USS Gravely docked at the Port of Spain in October 2025 and joint drills were scheduled for November 16–21. In retaliation, Venezuela has announced a massive mobilization of its own troops, weapons, and equipment in the Caribbean. These tensions have strained bilateral relations, with reports that Venezuela has canceled several energy/gas agreements with Trinidad and Tobago after the country allowed the U.S. warship to dock. Despite this, the Trinidad and Tobago government maintains that these exercises are vital for addressing shared security threats such as transnational crime.
