美国派遣航母前往加勒比海执行反毒品行动
摘要
美国已下令杰拉尔德·R·福特号航母打击群前往加勒比海，打击跨国犯罪组织并反制毒品恐怖主义。
美国已下令此前驻扎在欧洲的杰拉尔德·R·福特号航母打击群前往加勒比海地区。五角大楼新闻秘书肖恩·帕内尔表示，此次部署旨在“摧毁跨国犯罪组织并反制毒品恐怖主义”。
该打击群包括杰拉尔德·R·福特号航母及其相关航空联队，于10月21日停靠在克罗地亚斯普利特附近。鉴于距离加勒比海超过5000英里，打击群需要数天时间才能抵达作战区域。
此次军事行动引发了外界对特朗普政府在该地区目标的质疑。尽管官员们声称增加的军事存在是反毒品走私行动的一部分，但有报道指出，特朗普总统也在考虑对委内瑞拉进行打击，作为削弱领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗的更广泛战略的一部分。
杰拉尔德·R·福特号被海军认定为有史以来建造的最大军舰。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯宣布，美国对一艘由毒品卡特尔运营的走私毒品船只进行了夜间打击，造成6人死亡。自上月美国启动行动以来，目标船只总数已达10艘，死亡人数累计达到43人。
此事仍在发展中，更多信息将持续更新。
