Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro has accused the United States of "fabricating a war" as the Pentagon deploys an aircraft carrier strike group to the Caribbean. This escalation follows President Trump's September military campaign against alleged "narco-terrorists," which has already resulted in over 40 reported civilian casualties. Washington has also announced joint military exercises with Trinidad and Tobago near Venezuelan waters, further heightening tensions in the region.
