The Pentagon has authorized the deployment of a carrier strike group to combat transnational cartel activity, marking a significant escalation in a pressure campaign against Venezuela, the Pentagon announced Friday.
The Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group will be deployed to the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility (AOR) with an air wing, the Pentagon told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. The move is the latest effort to increase military presence around South America in order to combat cartel operations and pressure regimes like Colombia and Venezuela.
