Rome, 25 October (LaPresse) – Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused the United States of ‘inventing a war’ after sending the world's largest warship to the Caribbean in a serious escalation of military reinforcement in the region. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford, which can carry up to 90 aircraft, to leave the Mediterranean on Friday. ‘They are inventing a new eternal war. They promised they would never get involved in a war again, and they are inventing a war,’ Maduro told local media. The United States has increased its military presence in the Caribbean, sending warships, a nuclear submarine and F-35 aircraft to target drug traffickers.
