One day after being sworn in for a third term as Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro addressed widespread international opposition, stating that Venezuela, along with its allies Cuba and Nicaragua, is "preparing" for the possibility of armed conflict.
The announcement was made on Saturday as part of the Global International Anti-Fascist Festival celebrated in Caracas. More than 2,000 international delegates from 125 countries participated, according to CMH, a Cuban state-run radio news outlet known for its coverage of government and international affairs.
