A red alert has been declared in Caracas as the United States continues to escalate its military presence in the Caribbean, particularly by amassing thousands of troops and advanced combat assets in Puerto Rico — a U.S. territory strategically close to Venezuela. This massive relocation comes amid growing tensions fueled by allegations that President Nicolás Maduro’s government is tied to drug cartels and increasing concerns about regional security.
According to multiple reports, the Pentagon has now positioned around 15,000 U.S. military personnel throughout the Caribbean region, with approximately 5,000 of them stationed in Puerto Rico as part of forward-operating and counter-narcotics operations. Puerto Rico has also seen the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets and MQ-9 Reaper drones, adding significant aerial power to the existing naval and ground forces in the region.
These movements follow a wider build-up that includes several warships, an aircraft carrier strike group, and joint training exercises — developments that have alarmed Venezuelan authorities. Caracas has responded by placing its armed forces on high alert and mobilizing its own troops in preparation for any possible escalation.
Critics argue the military buildup threatens regional stability and risks direct confrontation between two long-standing adversaries in the Western Hemisphere. Supporters of the U.S. actions say this show of force is necessary to counter drug trafficking and protect U.S. national security interests.
What does this mean for U.S.–Venezuela relations, and could this situation spiral into open conflict? Watch the full breakdown in this video.
