the Caribbean to combat drug cartels. The U.S. has not indicated any
planned land incursion, but Venezuela has deployed troops along its
coast and border with Colombia. Maduro calls the U.S. deployment an
"unjustifiable threat." The U.S. Navy now has several ships in the
region, with more forces arriving this week. Maduro insists he is the
legitimate president, although many countries, including the U.S., do
not recognize his presidency.
