US-Venezuela crisis: This handout photo from the US Marine Corps taken on November 25, 2025 and released on December 2, 2025, shows Marines with India Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/6, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), preparing to engage targets during a deck shoot aboard the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) in the Caribbean Sea. The United States has "only just begun" targeting alleged drug-trafficking boats, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted on December 2, despite a growing outcry over strikes that critics say amount to extrajudicial killings. President Donald Trump has deployed the world's biggest aircraft and an array of other military assets to the Caribbean, insisting they are there for counter-narcotics operations. Regional tensions have flared as a result of the strikes and the military buildup, with Venezuela's leftist leader Nicolas Maduro accusing Washington of using drug trafficking as a pretext for "imposing regime change" in Caracas.
