Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced that his country is ready to engage in armed resistance against any aggression from the United States. This statement comes amid heightened military tensions in the region.
• Maduro warned that an attack on Venezuela would lead to "planned and organized armed struggle" from its citizens to defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
• In response to U. S. military actions, including increased forces in the Caribbean, Maduro mobilized additional troops and initiated militia training to involve civilians in national defense.
• The Venezuelan military's operational readiness is currently at a "yellow phase," indicating a state of heightened alert.
• Maduro is deploying 25,000 troops, increasing from 10,000, particularly to border regions and areas important for combatting drug trafficking.
• U. S. President Trump issued a warning regarding Venezuelan jets near U. S. naval vessels, indicating that these could be shot down if threatening.
• The U. S. government has justified its military actions in the region by linking Maduro to drug cartels, although Trump has denied any plans for regime change in Venezuela.
Tensions between Venezuela and the U. S. are escalating, with both nations preparing for potential conflict. Maduro's efforts appear focused on demonstrating control over domestic security and combating U. S. presence in the region.
