Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro accused the U.S. of “fabricating a new eternal war” as the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford moved closer to the country, and he began legal steps to revoke opposition figure Leopoldo López’s nationality and passport. Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said the appeal to the Supreme Court cites López’s calls for a military invasion; López, exiled in Spain, backed U.S. deployments and dismissed the move as unconstitutional. U.S. forces have destroyed boats off Venezuela in anti-drug operations, leaving at least 43 dead.
