U.S. carrier arrives in Caribbean, raising tensions with Venezuela

The world's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, arrived in the Caribbean Sea, fueling speculation that Washington is targeting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as part of what the Trump administration calls an anti-narco-terrorism campaign.

Maduro has repeatedly condemned Washington's actions as attempts to overthrow his government.

Meanwhile, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ordered a halt to intelligence sharing with U.S. agencies, condemning recent strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean.
