World’s Largest Warship Arrives in Tense Caribbean

This report covers world's largest warship arrives with key details and context.

The USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest warship, and its accompanying US naval strike force has arrived in the Caribbean, according to the US Navy. This deployment was ordered by President Donald Trump and happens amidst ongoing strikes against supposed drug boats and escalating tensions with Venezuela. So far, the US has launched 19 strikes against boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, resulting in 76 deaths. Both Venezuelan and Colombian governments have expressed concerns over these operations. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused the US of creating a crisis with the intent to overthrow his government, while Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ordered a halt on intelligence sharing with the US until these attacks stop. Along with the USS Gerald R Ford, the strike group includes guided-missile destroyers and other vessels, bolstering US capacity to detect and disrupt illicit activities in the region. This move has led to the largest US military presence in and around Latin America in decades.
