For the second time this month, the United States and Trinidad and Tobago are conducting joint exercises in the area off Venezuela.
The government of Trinidad and Tobago has once again announced irresponsible exercises and lent its waters along the coast of the state of Sucre for military exercises, intended to threaten Venezuela, which does not allow itself to be threatened by anyone, Nicolás Maduro said during an event on Saturday local time.
The move comes just days after the president ordered the massive mobilization of almost 200,000 soldiers.
Earlier in November, a US military ship was in Trinidad and Tobago, which Maduro condemned as “a provocation.”
The US has recently carried out several deadly attacks on what it accuses of being drug-smuggling boats from Venezuela, among other countries. According to the US, the Maduro regime has a responsible role in the smuggling.
