Maduro Rallies Venezuela Militias Before US Warships Arrival
In a move to bolster domestic support, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is urging citizens to join national militias as the country braces for the potential arrival of US warships in the Caribbean. This comes amid the ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela, which has seen Maduro's government clashing with the US-backed opposition led by Juan Guaidó. Maduro has accused the US of planning a military intervention in Venezuela, a claim the US has denied. However, the deployment of US warships in the region has raised concerns about a possible confrontation. Maduro's call to arms is seen as a bid to rally support and demonstrate the government's willingness to defend the country's sovereignty. The situation remains tense, with the potential for further escalation as the international community closely monitors the developments in Venezuela.
