Maduro Cites Rubio’s ‘Madness’ and Sends 15,000 Troops to Border

The Venezuelan government has announced that it will deploy 15,000 troops to its border with Colombia, citing "madness" from U.S. Senator Marco Rubio.

The Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, accused Rubio of promoting "madness" and claimed that the U.S. is planning to invade Venezuela. The Venezuelan government has long accused the U.S. of attempting to overthrow Maduro's regime.
