May 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Southern Command released images of the arrival of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in the Caribbean Sea amid escalating tensions and a pressure campaign driven by the Trump administration against Cuba.
"Welcome to the Caribbean, Nimitz Carrier Strike Group!" the U.S. Southern Command said in a social media post, adding that the USS Nimitz "has demonstrated its combat prowess around the world, ensuring stability and defending democracy from the Taiwan Strait to the Persian Gulf."
The U.S. military command, which includes the Caribbean within its area of responsibility, described the strike group as the "epitome of readiness and presence," with "unmatched lethality, reach and strategic advantage."
