A New York-bound JetBlue flight had to halt its ascent Friday to avoid colliding with a US Air Force refueling tanker supporting the American military buildup near Venezuela, with the airline pilot calling his opposite number’s actions “outrageous.” The incident took place after the US military has launched nearly two dozen strikes targeting suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific that have killed more than 80 people, part of a pressure campaign to oust authoritarian Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
