| [FoxNews] A U.S. guided missile destroyer docked in Trinidad and Tobago’s capital on Sunday as the Trump administration escalates a campaign of military pressure against neighboring Venezuela and its President Nicolás Maduro. USS Gravely arrived in Port-of-Spain to conduct joint military training exercises with the Caribbean nation. The warship will remain until Thursday, according to government officials from the two countries. U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Jenifer Neidhart de Ortiz said in a statement that the exercises seek to "address shared threats like transnational crime and build resilience through training, humanitarian missions, and security efforts." Venezuela said the conduct of military exercises in the waters of a neighboring country is "dangerous" and a "serious threat" to the Caribbean region, further calling it a "hostile provocation" toward the South American nation, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry. |
