The US military is fighting drug trafficking in the Caribbean. On Tuesday, American forces attacked a drug boat, killing 11 people from a dangerous gang. After this attack, Venezuelan F-16 fighter jets flew very close to the USS Jason Dunham warship two times.

The Pentagon said this was very dangerous and provocative. President Trump warned that Venezuelan planes flying too close to US ships might face serious consequences. The US is sending more warships and F-35 fighter jets to the Caribbean to fight drug cartels and criminal organizations.
