This screen grab from a video posted by US President Donald Trump shows what he said was a US military strike on drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea AFP Venezuela said Wednesday it had begun three days of military exercises on its Caribbean island of La Orchila as tensions soar amid US military activity in the region. Forces deployed for what Washington called an anti-drug operation have blown up at least two Venezuelan boats and a combined 14 people allegedly transporting drugs across the Caribbean this month -- a move slammed as "extrajudicial execution" by UN experts. The strikes and a deployment of US warships in the region have raised fears of an invasion in Venezuela, whose President Nicolas Maduro Washington accuses of being a cartel leader.
