The U.S. decision to deploy the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford to Latin America marks a significant escalation of military presence in the region. This measure is intended to strengthen the United States’ ability to monitor and disrupt illegal activities that threaten national security. The aircraft carrier, currently stationed in the Mediterranean, is accompanied by a battle group consisting of five destroyers.
The deployment of the aircraft carrier comes amid a series of U.S. military strikes against suspected drug boats that have intensified in recent weeks. These operations, ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have resulted in numerous deaths and are aimed at disrupting the activities of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.
The U.S. government has designated the Tren de Aragua gang as a foreign terrorist organization, blaming it for the violence and drug trafficking rampant in some cities. The recent military actions have sparked speculation that the US may seek to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is facing drug trafficking charges in the US.
The US military presence in the region is seen by some as a signal to Latin American countries to align with US interests. Experts like Elizabeth Dickinson of the International Crisis Group emphasize that drugs can only serve as a pretext to pursue political goals. The US is showing that it is prepared to use military force against countries and leaders that do not comply.
