Venezuela on Friday accused the United States of waging an "undeclared war" in the Caribbean and called for a UN probe of American strikes that have killed over a dozen alleged drug traffickers on boats in recent weeks. The strikes have prompted debate over the legality of the killings, with drug trafficking itself not a capital offense under US law. The biggest US naval deployment in the Caribbean in decades has stoked fears the United States is planning to attack Venezuelan territory. La Orchila is close to the area where the United States intercepted and held a Venezuelan fishing vessel for eight hours over the weekend. Maduro, for whom Washington has issued a $50 million bounty on drug trafficking charges, suspects the Trump administration of planning an invasion in pursuit.
