US President Trump said in his speech to the US military on the afternoon of December 24, local time, that the US aircraft carrier “Gerald R. Ford” controls the Caribbean Sea. Currently, “drug trafficking” by sea has been reduced by 96%, and the US will crack down on “drug trafficking” on land. This practice is “actually simpler.” In recent times, the United States has continued to step up its military deployment in the waters off Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea, and has continued to increase the blockade and threat of force against Venezuela. It has successively attacked ships and seized oil tankers, classified the Venezuelan government as a “foreign terrorist organization,” threatening that Venezuela's territory, oil, and assets are owned by the US, and even threatening to launch a military attack on mainland Venezuela. The US side's series of words and actions caused the regional situation to continue to be tense, triggering strong concerns among regional countries and the international community.
