Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro called on the Colombian army to join forces with his country's counterparts as the U.S. continues ramping up pressure on the regime.
In a televised address, Maduro said the "best guarantee we have for peace and stability in this world is unity." Therefore, he said, he was calling on the "Colombian people, its social movements, political forces, its military, to for a perfect union with Venezuela so no one dares to touch our sovereignty."
