Nov. 16 (UPI) -- The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group entered the Caribbean Sea on Sunday, adding to a military build-up in the region, as President Donald Trump signaled that he may have decided on a possible U.S. show of force in Venezuela.

The Ford, the largest aircraft carrier in the world, leads a strike group assigned to dismantle international narcotics trafficking organizations.

President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is getting closer to deciding on a course of action in Venezuela after a series of high-level meetings with officials amid mounting tensions in the region.

"I sort of have made up my mind - yeah," Trump told reporters about Air Force One when asked about the meetings and the situation in Venezuela. "I can't tell you what it would be, but I sort of have."
