The United States has signed security agreements with several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, allowing for the deployment of US troops across the region. The agreements, announced by President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, include deals with Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, among others. According to sources, the agreements range from airport access to the temporary deployment of US troops for joint operations against narco-terrorists.
The agreements were signed in the past week, amidst a four-month-long US military campaign against Venezuela. The campaign, which has resulted in the deaths of over 100 people in the Caribbean and the Pacific, has been met with criticism from Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who warned the Trump administration that its actions may destabilize the entire region. "We are concerned that the aggressive actions of the US may lead to a broader conflict in the region," Maduro said in a statement.
The security agreements are part of the US Navy's new Golden Fleet initiative, which aims to increase US military presence in the region. The initiative, which was announced by Trump at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, includes plans to deploy a fleet of advanced warships and aircraft carriers to the region. According to officials, the agreements will allow for the deployment of US troops to support joint operations against narco-terrorists and to enhance regional security.
The agreements have been met with mixed reactions from regional leaders. Some have welcomed the increased US military presence, citing concerns about narco-terrorist activity in the region. "We are committed to working with the US to enhance regional security and combat narco-terrorist threats," said Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benítez. Others, however, have expressed concerns about the potential for US military intervention in the region.
The US military campaign against Venezuela has been ongoing for four months, with the US imposing economic sanctions and conducting airstrikes against Venezuelan military targets. The campaign has resulted in the deaths of over 100 people, according to estimates. Maduro has accused the US of attempting to destabilize his government, and has called for international support to counter US aggression.
The security agreements signed by the US with Latin American countries have raised concerns about the potential for US military intervention in the region. "We are watching the situation closely and are concerned about the potential for US military intervention in the region," said a spokesperson for the Organization of American States. The US has maintained that its actions are aimed at enhancing regional security and combating narco-terrorist threats.
The current status of the security agreements and the US military campaign against Venezuela remains unclear. The US has maintained that its actions are aimed at enhancing regional security and combating narco-terrorist threats, while Maduro has accused the US of attempting to destabilize his government. The situation remains tense, with regional leaders and international organizations closely monitoring the situation.
