Venezuela on Thursday answered a U.S. strike on a suspected drug-running vessel by flying two fighter jets over a U.S. destroyer that was conducting anti-narco-terrorism patrols off its coast. The two armed Venezuelan F-16 fighter jets flew over the USS Jason Dunham, an Aegis guided-missile destroyer, in an action that Defense Department officials described as a “show of force.” The United States responded on Friday by significantly ramping up its regional military presence, deploying 10 F‑35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico, two sources told Reuters. The Pentagon released a warning on X, saying on Thursday: “Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a U.S. Navy vessel in international waters. This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations. The cartel running Venezuela is strongly advised not to pursue any further effort to obstruct, deter or interfere with counter-narcotics and counter-terror operations carried out by the US military.” pic.twitter.com/PSxm3uRsfM — Department of Defense ?? (@DeptofDefense) September 5, 2025 On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the American strike on the alleged narcotics smuggling boat that reportedly killed 11 people on board, posting on X, “Today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.” The strike occurred against the backdrop of a deepening standoff between President Donald Trump and Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. In early August, Trump froze Venezuelan government assets — the most sweeping action against Maduro’s regime in decades — and slapped a $50 million bounty on Maduro, calling him a global drug trafficker. Maduro responded by mobilizing more than 15,000 troops along the Colombian border, boasting, “There’s no way they can enter Venezuela.” In August, Trump directed the Pentagon to deploy U.S. troops and warships amid mounting “threats to U.S. national security from specially designated narco‑terrorist organizations” operating in the region, according to Reuters. The U.S. Department of Justice in the first Trump administration indicted Maduro and 14 senior officials on charges of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering, and corruption in 2020. It alleged a decades-long alliance with the FARC (a Marxist guerrilla group once considered one of the most powerful insurgent and narco-terrorist organizations in Latin America) to flood the United States with cocaine via the so-called Cartel of the Suns — a military-run trafficking network. A $15 million reward was offered for information leading to Maduro’s arrest.

The U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs in August, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report released on Friday. The BLS report was the first one since President Donald Trump fired Biden-appointed BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after the bureau made major revisions to its May and June reports, marking down nonfarm payrolls by nearly 260,000. The August numbers were far below economists’ predictions, who expected payrolls to rise by 75,000, CNBC reported. While Friday’s report reveals a troubling trend for the job market, it is likely to keep the Federal Reserve on track to lower interest rates at its meeting later this month. The Federal Reserve often lowers interest rates if unemployment is high in an attempt to stimulate economic activity, which can lead to companies hiring more people. Last month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested that central bank policymakers are considering cutting rates. Shortly after the poor jobs report was released, Trump blasted Powell on his Truth Social platform. “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell should have lowered rates long ago. As usual, he’s ‘Too Late!’” Trump posted. Both the wholesale trade and manufacturing sectors saw declines of 12,000 jobs last month, while the health care sector led all others with 31,000 jobs added. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3%, matching the estimate, and annual earnings gains increased by 3.7%, which was just shy of the 3.8% expectation, according to CNBC. Daniel Zhao, the chief economist at jobs site Glassdoor, told the outlet, “The labor market is losing lift, and August’s report, along with downward revisions, suggests we’re heading into turbulence without the soft landing achieved.” Trump ripped McEntarfer last month, accusing the former BLS commissioner of inflating job growth “before the Election to try and boost” the chances of former Vice President Kamala Harris. “We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified,” he said on August 1. “Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes.” Trump nominated economist E.J. Antoni to take over the BLS. Antoni is a Heritage Foundation fellow who agrees with Trump that BLS numbers have been distorted for political reasons. “There are better ways to collect, process, and disseminate data—that is the task for the next BLS commissioner, and only consistent delivery of accurate data in a timely manner will rebuild the trust that has been lost over the last several years,” Antoni posted on X just a few days after Trump fired McEntarfer.
