USS Nimitz aircraft carrier deploys to Caribbean amid U.S.-Cuba tensions

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its escort warships entered the southern Caribbean Sea on Wednesday as part of the Trump administration's campaign to pressure Cuba. The deployment coincided with the Justice Department announcing charges against former Cuban president Raul Castro. The carrier is intended as a show of force rather than a platform for military operations.
