'Provocative' military drill
Tensions rising in the Caribbean region as Venezuela blasts Trinidad and Tobago over conducting joint military drills with the United States. The reaction came after a US warship docked at Trinidad and Tobago coasts, close to the Venezuelan territorial waters for a four-day military exercise. The administration of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has warned that the military provocation by Trinidad is aimed at provoking a war in the region. Venezuela’s Executive Vice President also accused Trinidad of acting as a “military colony” for the US to conduct war against entire South America. The Trump administration has accused Maduro of leading drug cartels. That has served as a pretext for multiple attacks against Venezuelan boats that Washington alleges are involved in drug trafficking. Caracas says the aggression's aims to destabilize and overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro.

US President Donald Trump has arrived in Japan as the latest leg of his five-day Asia tour which is hoped to lead to a truce in the trade war with China.
