@tut0ugh: 🇻🇪🇺🇸Venezuela has deployed 15,000 troops to its border with Colombia, citing anti-drug operations. The announcement follows the US deployment of three Aegis-class guided-missile destroyers—the USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham and USS Sampson—to waters near Venezuela, confirmed by a US defence official. Washington accuses President Nicolás Maduro of leading a drug-trafficking network, allegations he denies, and has raised its reward for his arrest to $50 million. The US also recently designated Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and six Mexican groups as foreign terrorist organisations. Mexico has rejected US calls for military involvement, stressing national sovereignty. ℹ️ @FRANCE 24 #geopolitics #venezuela🇻🇪 #internationalrelations #bordersecurity #politicstoday
