The United States has intensified pressure on Nicolás Maduro as President Trump redeploys the USS Gerald Ford to the Caribbean under Operation Southern Spear. The mission fields 16,000 troops, F-35s, B-2 bombers, and multiple warships, coinciding with Trump’s warning of a possible land assault. Maduro has responded defiantly, mobilising 5,600 additional troops, ordering resistance drills, and highlighting 5,000 Russian Igla-S systems. With Washington designating the “Cartel of the Suns” a foreign terror group, both nations escalate defence postures, sharply heightening regional tensions.
