Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro danced with a humanoid robot on state television Monday while the United States was getting ready for major military action in the Caribbean. The odd performance happened at the Expo Motores Productivos 2025 event in Caracas. Maduro swayed to a “gaita,” a traditional Venezuelan Christmas song, while the robot moved stiffly beside him with jerking motions and a nodding head.
According to The Sun, Maduro used the televised event to speak directly to Americans. He wished them Merry Christmas and positioned himself as someone who wants peace, while claiming the US wants war and regime change. He told American viewers, “Don’t worry, be happy. Be happy, be happy! Be happy like a worm and make others happy too.”
