The Pentagon denounced a “highly provocative move” from the Venezuelan military after it deployed two F-16 fighter jets to fly near a U.S. Navy destroyer.
The armed aircraft on Thursday flew over the USS Jason Dunham, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, while sailing through international waters in the Caribbean, an official told Reuters. The Dunham is one of seven U.S. warships deployed to the Caribbean, carrying more than 4,500 sailors and Marines.
