Tensions rise, two US fighter jets fly over Venezuela

Two US fighter jets were spotted flying around the Gulf of Venezuela on Tuesday, as tensions continue to escalate between the two countries.
The F/A-18 Super Hornets appeared on flight tracking sites near Maracaibo, Venezuela's second largest city. They reportedly flew around the Gulf for about 40 minutes.
A US defense official told the Associated Press that the F/A-18 jets had conducted a "routine training flight" in the area.
The incident comes amid a wave of US attacks on ships in the Caribbean Sea that the White House says were smuggling drugs to the US from Venezuela.
Experts have raised questions about the legality of the attacks, which have killed more than 80 people.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused the US of using the attacks to destabilize the country and topple him from power.
In an interview with Politico the day before the warplanes approached the Venezuelan coastline, Trump declared that Maduro's days in power are "numbered" and declined to comment on whether US troops could be deployed to the country.
