JAKARTA - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro will deploy military, police, and civilian defenses at 284 "frontlines" in all of his territory. This is a show of his latest military force amid rising tensions with the United States.
President Donald Trump's administration first increased the presence of the US military in the southern Caribbean, as a crackdown on drug smugglers.
Trump also ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to the airfield in Puerto Rico.
Last week, US military attacks in the Caribbean killed 11 people and sank a ship from Venezuela. Trump said the ship was transporting illegal narcotics.
Maduro accused the US of overthrowing him from power by deploying the military. His government says Trump's video of an attack plan is artificial intelligence, without saying how many military, police, or civilian militias will be involved.
As reported by Reuters on Thursday, September 11, the Maduro administration announced the addition of 25,000 troops to states along the Venezuelan border with Colombia, which is the center of drug trafficking.
