- Pentagon deploys USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group to Caribbean for expanded anti-cartel operations — The Pentagon announced deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the U.S. Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier with dozens of F-18 Super Hornet jets and surveillance aircraft, to the Caribbean coast near Venezuela. The move signals a major escalation in the Trump administration's military campaign against drug cartels, expanding from strikes on boats to planned strikes on land-based targets. Trump confirmed the next phase would target "the land" and directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to notify Congress of plans, though no specific targets or countries were disclosed.
