Part 2/14:
President Donald Trump responded sharply, warning that if Venezuelan jets threaten U.S. ships again, they will be shot down. He authorized commanding officers on scene to make immediate decisions if threatened, effectively giving them a green light for forceful action. This confrontation occurs amid increased U.S. military presence in the region, including the deployment of ten F-35 stealth fighters to Puerto Rico. These advanced jets not only bolster operations against drug cartels but also serve as a strategic signal to Caracas about U.S. readiness to escalate if necessary.
