川普否認要推翻委內瑞拉政權 隱形戰鬥機兵臨加勒比海
Newtalk新聞 美國總統川普（Donald Trump）稍早否認追究加勒比海國家委內瑞拉涉嫌運輸毒品，是要推翻該國強人總統馬杜洛（Nicolas Maduro）的左派政權。同時，美國已下令增派10架隱形戰鬥機，以加強其在加勒比海地區不斷增強的軍事實力。 加勒比海國家委內瑞拉自1998年查維茲（Hugo Rafael Chávez Fría）執政之後，與美國關係長期不睦。川普於本月 2 日公開指出，美軍在加勒比海南部對一艘涉嫌運輸毒品的船隻發動攻擊，擊斃船上 11 名「毒品恐怖分子」。事件發生後兩天，兩架委內瑞拉 F-16 戰機又飛近美國導彈驅逐艦「傑森．鄧納姆號」（USS Jason Dunham），令美、委之間的外交與軍事緊張進一步升高。 馬杜洛5日在委內瑞拉國家電視台舉行的活動上表示：「美國政府應該放棄在委內瑞拉和整個拉丁美洲實施暴力政權更迭的計劃，尊重委內瑞拉的主權、和平權利和獨立權利，」。 稍早有記者詢問川普對於馬杜洛聲稱美國「正在透過軍事威脅進行政權更迭」有什麼回應。對此，川普答覆：「我們不是要談論這個，而是要談論你們經歷了一場非常奇怪的選舉，委婉地說，」川普說道，他指的是委內瑞拉政府聲稱總統馬杜羅洛在2024年大選勝選疑雲重重。 路透社（Reuters）稍早引述消息人士的話報導，川普政府已下令向波多黎各的一個機場部署10架F-35戰鬥機，以執行打擊販毒集團的行動。 這次新的部署是在美國南加勒比海地區本已高度緊張的軍事存在之上進行的，川普正在履行其競選承諾，打擊向美國輸送毒品的組織。 就在五角大廈指責委內瑞拉戰鬥機週四在美國海軍軍艦附近進行「高度挑釁」飛行數小時後，F-35戰機的行動就出現在媒體的報導中。 川普警告委內瑞拉，如果指揮官認為有必要，美軍有權擊落委內瑞拉這些戰機，並表示：「如果它們真的將我們置於危險境地，就將被擊落。」 川普2日發動軍事打擊，造成11人死亡，並擊沉了一艘來自委內瑞拉的船隻，川普稱該船隻正在運輸非法毒品，展現了他打擊毒品戰爭的新策略。 更具體地說，川普指責馬杜羅領導了「阿拉瓜河」犯罪集團（ the Tren de Aragua），美國政府已於2月將該團夥列為恐怖組織。 川普5日發表談話，將數十萬美國人因吸毒過量死亡與戰爭死亡相提並論，試圖合理化美國在加勒比地區採取的強硬軍事行動辯。 川普表示：「想想看，如果你捲入一場戰爭，損失了30萬人……我們不會允許這種事情發生。」 …
