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.
