US troops joined Panamanian forces for a jungle survival and air-evacuation drill as tensions with Venezuela continue to escalate. The training included helicopter extractions, treating “injured” personnel, and jungle-survival lessons led by Panamanian instructors. While US officials deny the exercise is linked to a potential intervention in Venezuela, the drills come as Washington ramps up military activity in the Caribbean and carries out strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats.
