Caribbean Sea – On October 24, 2025, U.S. Air Force B-1 Lancer bombers were spotted flying low over the Caribbean Sea, coinciding with a mass exodus of private jets from Caracas, Venezuela, as President Donald Trump prepares a major national statement. Reports from Visegrad 24 indicate heightened military activity, with the B-1s—capable of carrying 24 tons of munitions—positioned near Venezuelan airspace, signaling potential escalation.

Flight tracking data shows over 20 private jets departing Simón Bolívar International Airport in Caracas, carrying high-profile Venezuelan officials and their families. This comes amid Trump’s repeated threats against Nicolás Maduro’s regime, following the recent U.S. strike on a Venezuelan drug boat and the designation of Tren de Aragua as a terrorist organization.

Sources close to the White House suggest Trump’s statement, expected imminently, will address Venezuela’s narcoterrorism and possible military action to remove Maduro. The B-1 deployment, from Dyess Air Force Base, underscores U.S. readiness, with carrier strike groups already in the region.

The timing, just days after Ecuador designated Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists, hints at a broader strategy against global extremism. Maduro denounced the flights as “imperialist provocation.”
