"United States President Donald Trump had ordered the deployment of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Puerto Rico amid a report he is weighing options for strikes targeting drug cartels operating inside Venezuela, according to news organisations. Sources in the US told news agencies on Friday that 10 of the advanced fighter jets are being sent to an airfield in Puerto Rico as part of operations against Latin American drug cartels designated narco-terrorist organisations by Washington."
"The US should respect sovereignty, the right to peace, to independence, Maduro said. I respect Trump. None of the differences we've had can lead to a military conflict, he said. Venezuela has always been willing to converse, to dialogue. Maduro has mobilised Venezuela's military, which numbers about 340,000 soldiers, amid weeks of US threats, and reservists and militia members, which he claimed exceed eight million."

Ten advanced F-35s were sent to a Puerto Rico airfield as part of operations against Latin American drug cartels designated narco-terrorist organisations. The Trump administration considered attacks on drug trafficking groups inside Venezuela, which would escalate tensions between Washington and Caracas. President Nicolas Maduro called for the US to abandon plans for violent regime change and demanded respect for sovereignty and independence. Maduro mobilised Venezuela's military and claimed reservists and militia exceed eight million.
