The United Kingdom has suspended the sharing of some intelligence with the United States on alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean over concerns the data is being used by the Trump administration to carry out deadly military strikes that have been widely condemned as illegal. That’s according to CNN, which reported the U.K.'s intelligence sharing with the U.S. was paused after Trump's Pentagon began its escalating attacks in September, in which at least 76 people have been killed. The U.K. controls several territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence centers that have helped the U.S. locate vessels traveling from Latin America.
This comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has entered waters near Latin America. The Venezuelan government, in response, has deployed its entire military arsenal, with Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López saying Venezuela’s land, air, naval and reserve forces will be carrying out exercises. Padrino López spoke from Caracas Tuesday.
Vladimir Padrino López: “There is a unanimous global rejection against imperialist aggression and against the United States’ intention to remain as the world’s hegemon, as the world’s police. And we here in Venezuela remain firm with the Bolivarian ideals of independence, freedom and full sovereignty for our people.”
