Trump: Venezuelan fighter jets will be shot down if they threaten US warships

US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Caracas after Venezuelan fighter jets flew over an American bomber in the Caribbean.

"If they put us in a dangerous position, they will collapse," he said in the Oval Office.

Trump added that military commanders now have the authority to open fire if deemed necessary.

The Pentagon reported that two Venezuelan F-16s conducted a “show of force” against the USS Jason Dunham, one of three bombers deployed since August as part of counternarcotics operations. Washington described the maneuver as “highly provocative” and announced that it was strengthening its presence in the region with ten F-35 fighter jets stationed in Puerto Rico.

The incident occurred a day after US forces destroyed a Venezuelan ship that, according to the White House, was carrying drugs and members of the Tren de Aragua criminal group.

Tensions between the two countries continue to escalate as the Trump administration intensifies its pressure on the Chavista regime, accusing the Venezuelan president of leading the Cartel of the Suns and offering a US$50 million reward for his capture. /CNA
