Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made a call for peace to the United States by dancing at a rally held in Caracas. Maduro, who has been preparing for an operation and calling for the country to leave by U.S. President Donald Trump, emphasized that Venezuelans are united as one voice against imperialist military threats.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro spoke at the oath-taking ceremony of the Bolivarian Community Commanders held in the capital, Caracas.
Maduro, dancing on stage to a remixed version of his own words, called for peace to the United States. Stating that 94% of the Venezuelan people do not recognize an 'imperialist military threat,' Maduro said, "Today, all Venezuelans, regardless of their political party or ideology, have become one voice, no matter their views."
MOBILITY IN THE CARIBBEAN
U.S. President Donald Trump had previously issued an order to increase the military's presence and effectiveness in the fight against Latin American drug cartels. In this context, the U.S. sent a naval force consisting of submarines and warships to the waters off Venezuela at the end of August, and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the U.S. military was ready for operations, including regime change in Venezuela.
In response, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced that he had mobilized 4.5 million militia forces in the country and was ready to repel any attack. The U.S. continuing to target some vessels off the coast of Venezuela on the grounds of drug trafficking has led to criticism from both the Venezuelan government and the international community, with claims that the attacks are "contrary to international law."
"LEAVE VENEZUELA WITH YOUR FAMILY"
Meanwhile, U.S. media reported that Trump had called Maduro and said, "If you want to save your life, leave Venezuela with your family."
