Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro on Wednesday urged the military to "not let down the guard" after the US press reported that in 2017, Donald Trump had badessed the possibility of invading Venezuela. the guard will not even be a second because we will defend the greatest right of our land in all its history … to live in peace, "Maduro said at a ceremony promoting generals and admirals.
Maduro cited US media reports that President Trump asked a number of foreign policy advisers last August about the possibility of invading Venezuela.
The question was asked "when of a meeting on sanctions "that Washington has adopted against the Maduro government," CNN reported, citing a senior US government official.
"Trump's aides vigorously rejected the idea, as well as several Latin American leaders who reportedly told the president that they did not want to see an American invasion. "
Maduro stated that these verses proved the veracity of his claims that Washington plans to militarily attack Venezuela to seize its vast oil reserves.
" Our Armada … has the responsibility to be ready to defend the national territory whatever the conditions we may defend. "
