Two U.S. B-1B bombers flew near Venezuela’s coast Monday, marking Washington’s third show of force in the Caribbean in three weeks. The U.S. claims the flights are part of an anti-drug operation, but President Nicolás Maduro accuses Washington of staging “false flag” provocations and plotting regime change. Tensions spiked further as the USS Gravely arrived in Trinidad for joint drills, which Caracas condemned as hostile. The Pentagon insists the deployments aim to counter narcotics trafficking, not spark military confrontation.
