Venezuelan Vice chair Delcy Rodriguez on lord's day claimed that the country's certificate forces had “captured a aggroup of mercenaries” who intended to pack out a “false flag” attack in the region on the behest of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The statement comes amid joint military exercises between the US and Trinidad and Tobago, which are currently underway in the Caribbean. Rodriguez condemned the exercises, claiming they were a military provocation by Trinidad and Tobago in coordination with the US.
According to the statement, Venezuela had captured a group of mercenaries "with direct information of the American intelligence agency" and whose goal it was to carry out a false flag attack in the region.
The statement did not offer further details or evidence of the false flag attack accusations.
USS Gravely, a guided missile destroyer, arrived in the capital of the Caribbean nation on Sunday for what the government officials from the twin-island nation and the U.S. Said were training exercises.
US Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Jenifer Neidhart de Ortiz said in a statement that the exercises seek to "address shared threats like transnational crime and build resilience through training, humanitarian missions, and security efforts.”
The ship is in addition to the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which is moving closer to Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro criticised the movement of the carrier as an attempt by the US government to fabricate "a new eternal war” against his country.
US President Donald Trump has accused Maduro of being the leader of the organised crime gang Tren de Aragua. Washington has targeted some boats off the coast of Venezuela, claiming that they were smuggling drugs into the US. Trump has also threatened that the action might move inside the Venezuelan territory in the future.
