USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group Enters Caribbean to Support Operations Against Criminal Networks

The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group entered the Caribbean Sea on 16 November after transiting the Anegada Passage, following new operational orders from U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The deployment aligns with the Presidentโ€™s directive to dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) and counter narco-terrorism activities across the region.

U.S. officials stated that the carrier strike group will provide enhanced maritime surveillance, interdiction capabilities, and rapid-response support to regional partners as part of broader efforts to disrupt illicit trafficking networks. The move underscores Washingtonโ€™s renewed emphasis on securing critical maritime corridors and strengthening cooperation with Caribbean and Latin American nations against increasingly sophisticated criminal enterprises.

Two years after selecting the E-7A Wedgetail as an interim solution for its airborne early warning mission, NATO has announced it is abandoning the planned purchase.

The decision follows the withdrawal of the U.S. Air Force from the program, prompting the alliance to reassess its approach.

NATO is now reviewing alternative options as part of a broader evaluation of its airborne surveillance and command-and-control capabilities, signaling potential shifts in the allianceโ€™s future early-warning architecture.

A recent U.S. Pentagon intelligence assessment has warned that selling F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia could pose risks to the aircraftโ€™s highly sensitive and classified technology. The review highlights concerns that expanding Chinese involvement in Saudi infrastructure, communications networks, and advanced technology sectors could increase the possibility of cyber intrusions or inadvertent technology exposure to China.

Washington has long maintained strict export controls on the F-35 platform, and the latest assessment underscores the strategic complexities facing the potential U.S.โ€“Saudi defense deal.
