Last week, Trump ordered an additional 10 stealth fighters to be deployed to the Caribbean to combat drug cartels and to respond to the tense situation in Venezuela. On Saturday, five American F-35 fighter jets were reportedly seen landing in Puerto Rico. Photos show these jets landing at the former Roosevelt Roads military base in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. In recent days, US helicopters, Osprey transport aircraft, other transport planes, and military personnel have also been spotted at the base. When asked about the situation, a Pentagon duty spokesman said, "We currently have no changes in force deployment to announce." Sources said last week that the Trump administration has ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico for operations against drug cartels.
