Xinhua News Agency, October 28-Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said on the 27th that he had thwarted a "false flag" operation funded by the US Central Intelligence Agency, which planned to attack a US warship docked in the Caribbean Sea and frame Venezuela. On the same day, data from the real-time flight tracking website showed that two American B-1B Lancer bombers approached Venezuela again.

Operation "false flag" was defeated

According to AFP, Hill issued a statement on the same day saying that a U.S. CIA-funded criminal gang in Venezuela had planned an attack on the U.S. missile destroyer "Gravely" currently stationed in the ports of Trinidad and Tobago, the capital of Spain, and married the Venezuelan side.

Venezuelan Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace Diosdado Cabello issued a statement saying that four people had been arrested, but did not disclose the relevant suspects' information. The day before, the Venezuelan government issued a communique saying that Venezuela defeated a "false flag" operation, and the security forces arrested a group of mercenaries who "directly took orders" from the CIA, and then verified that they were plotting to attack American warships docked at the port of Tedo from the waters around Tedo or in Tedo and Venezuela.

A "false flag" operation refers to an operation in which one party disguises it as the work of the other party by creating trouble. Since the beginning of this month, Venezuela has repeatedly stated that it has defeated similar actions. Venezuelan President Maduro announced on the 6th that he had thwarted a "false flag" operation planned by a "local terrorist organization" and attempted to plant explosives in the US embassy in Venezuela to frame the Venezuelan government and further intensify the contradiction between Venezuela and the United States.

U.S. bombers approaching Venezuela.

Swedish 24-hour flight radar website tracking data showed that the U.S. military two B-1B "Pistol Cavaliers" bombers took off from an air base in North Dakota on the 27th to fly over the Caribbean Sea near the Commission.

Since September, the Trump administration has been deploying military forces in the surrounding waters of Latin America on the basis of "fighting drug trafficking", including warships, F-35 invisible fighter jets and aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford strike groups, while authorizing the CIA to carry out covert operations in the Commission.

So far, the U.S. has claimed to have sinked 10 so-called "drug ships" in the outer waters of Venezuela and the Eastern Pacific International waters, killing more than 40 "drug traffickers".But the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's recent reports show that Venezuela is not the main source of U.S. drugs.

Venezuela suspends natural gas cooperation with Trinidad and Tobago

In a speech on national television on Thursday, Maduro said he decided to suspend the advancement of the gas cooperation agreement with Tehran.

Maduro said the decision was made because he supported U.S. President Trump¡¯s so-called ¡°drug-hunting¡± operation in the Caribbean, which has been submitted to the Supreme Court of Venezuela and the National Congress for opinions and will take further steps on the deal in the near future.

The energy cooperation agreement, signed in 2015, covers the development of the joint gas field and infrastructure construction, and is valid for 10 years and automatically renewed for 5 years in February.

Prime Minister Camla Pessad-Bissal told the media that TED will not "submit to the threats of Venezuela" and will not give up "the fight against drug trafficking groups."She said in August that she supported the deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean.According to foreign media reports, the arrival of U.S. warships has caused dissatisfaction among the people in TED, who held demonstrations outside the U.S. embassy, accusing U.S. military deployments of provocation and calling on all parties to maintain peace.

Trinidad and Venezuela face each other across the Gulf of Paría, and the most recent coastline is only about 10 kilometers apart. The US USS Gravely docked at Tedo Port on the 26th and will stay until the 30th. During this period, the 22nd Expeditionary Team of the U.S. Marine Corps will hold joint training with the Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force. Foreign media believe that this is further US military pressure on the Commission. (Reporters Wang Yijun and Tian Rui)
