The Venezuelan Navy released a statement on Friday, saying the incident took place on Thursday and involved a US Coast Guard vessel heading towards the Latin American country’s main port of La Guaira.
The USCGC James was 14 nautical miles (16 miles) off Venezuela’s coast when Caracas sent a patrol vessel to intercept it. In the course of subsequent radio communications, the USCGC James agreed to turn away.
“The USCGC James was encouraged to change its course and leave our jurisdictional waters. The instruction was obeyed,” the Venezuelan Navy said in a statement.

The Navy had already spotted the vessel a day before when it was transiting through Venezuela’s exclusive economic zone, and sent a patrol vessel to start monitoring its maneuvers.
A state’s territorial waters reaches up to 12 nautical miles, while a “contiguous zone” in which a state can enforce limited control for the purpose of preventing “infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations” can be set to up to 24 nautical miles. An exclusive economic zone extends up to 200 nautical miles.
Venezuela’s UN envoy, Samuel Moncada, slammed the US ship’s actions as a clear provocation aimed at inciting unrest.
“War traffickers get excited because they see a US Coast Guard very close to Venezuelan territorial waters. It’s a typical provocation to ramp up tensions,” Moncada tweeted.
The USCGC James, described as the most technologically advanced ship in the US Coast Guard fleet, is fitted with modern surveillance and reconnaissance equipment.

According to the US Navy, it can also serve as command post for “complex law enforcement and national security missions involving the Coast Guard and numerous partner agencies.”
The ship’s voyage follows an attempt by US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido to remove Maduro from power. Before and after the failed coup attempt, Washington issued a flurry of unambiguous threats against Venezuela, including refusing to rule out the military option for the crisis-hit country.
Just last week, Washington reiterated that “any action we took in Venezuela would be lawful,” also urging Venezuelan service members to defect. Maduro has ordered forces loyal to him to brace for a possible US intervention, saying earlier that if it happens, it would be a new ‘Vietnam’ for the US.

BUENOS AIRES (Sputnik) - A US ship entered the Venezuelan waters, but changed course after communicating with the Venezuelan Navy, the agency said on Friday.
The USCGC James was first noticed by the Venezuelan armed forces on Wednesday. On Thursday, a Venezuelan patrol ship approached the US vessel and convinced it to change course.
"After our radio communications, the USCG James became convinced in the necessity to change its course and left our waters", the Navy said in a statement.
The USCGC James belongs to the United States Coast Guard. Some netizens have tracked the alleged presence of the US vessel in Venezuelan waters.
US Southern Command (SOCOM) said in a statement on Tuesday that the US Navy hospital ship Comfort will be deployed next month to the Western Hemisphere to provide support for regional countries in response of the crisis in Venezuela.

Venezuela has been plunged into severe unrest since January, after US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself interim president. His bid is recognized by the majority of Latin American countries as well as many EU states, while Russia and China recognize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as the only legitimate leader to the country.
Tensions in Venezuela reached a new peak late April after the Venezuelan opposition initiated a fresh coup attempt to ouster constitutionally-elected Maduro, which eventually failed.

[环球网报道 记者 崔天也]9日，美国海岸警卫队最先进的船舰之一，“詹姆斯”号巡逻舰在靠近委内瑞拉海域时，被一艘委内瑞拉巡逻艇警告离开。经过一番无线电交涉后，“詹姆斯”号掉头走了。
“今日俄罗斯”（RT）11日报道称，委内瑞拉海军10日发表声明称，这起事件发生在9日，当时美国海岸警卫队一艘舰艇正驶向委内瑞拉主要港口，拉瓜伊拉。

报道称，当委内瑞拉派出一艘巡逻艇进行拦截时，“詹姆斯”号巡逻舰距离委内瑞拉海岸为14海里。RT解释称，一个国家的领海最多为12海里；为防止“违反海关、财政、移民或卫生法律法规”而实施控制的“毗连区”可达24海里。
委内瑞拉军方声明称：“我们劝告詹姆斯号巡逻舰改变航向，离开我们的管辖水域。对方服从我们的指令。”委海军还表示，他们在一天前就发现了美军这艘船，并派出了一艘巡逻艇监视其行动。
对于美方舰艇趋近委内瑞拉海域的行为，委内瑞拉常驻联合国代表萨穆埃尔·蒙卡达抨击称，这是“明显的挑衅行为”。
“当看到美国海岸警卫队（的船只）靠近委内瑞拉领海这一消息时，战争贩一定很兴奋，”蒙卡达称，“这是一种典型的、加剧紧张局势的挑衅行为。”
RT称，美国海岸警卫队“詹姆斯”号巡逻舰是海岸警卫队中搭载最先进技术的船舰之一，配备有现代化监视和侦察设备。美国海军曾表示，该巡逻舰可以作为执行“涉及海岸警卫队及其伙伴机构的复杂执法，及国家安全任务”的指挥所。
