A US warship docked in Trinidad and Tobago’s capital on Sunday as the Trump administration increases its military pressure on neighboring Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro. The arrival of the USS Gravely, a guided missile destroyer, in the capital of the Caribbean nation adds to aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which is moving closer to Venezuela. Maduro criticized the movement of the carrier as an attempt by the US government to fabricate “a new eternal war” against his country, the AP reports. President Trump has accused Maduro, without providing evidence, of being the leader of the organized crime gang Tren de Aragua.
