Dominican Republic aids US military build-up in the Caribbean amid Venezuela tensions
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
President Donald Trump is backing his threats with a large-scale military build-up in the Caribbean. More than 10 warships, including the world's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, have been conducting drills. 15,000 American troops are in the region and about 5,000 of them in Puerto Rico. Some of Washington's allies in the Caribbean are offering support. An agreement with the Dominican Republic will allow the US military limited access to the country for refuelling and staging.
