The US military is upgrading a long-abandoned former Cold War naval base in the Caribbean, a Reuters visual investigation has found, suggesting preparations for sustained operations that could help support possible actions inside Venezuela.
Since early September, the US has carried out at least 14 strikes against alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing 61 people.
The strikes have increased tensions with Venezuela and Colombia and drawn attention to a part of the world that has received limited resources within the US military in recent years.
Ryan C Berg, director of the Americas Program and head of the Future of Venezuela Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said: "The Trump administration is very keen to demonstrate that they are implementing a new paradigm when it comes to dealing with counter-narcotics."
