Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro said "there is no way" the country "will be breached" despite the deployment of U.S. warships to the region, which the Trump administration claims it's aimed at fighting drug trafficking.
"This situation we are facing, one of harassment, siege, illegal threats that violate the UN Charter, only makes us stronger," Maduro said. He went on to claim that the armed forces are seizing the circumstance to "strengthen the nation's defense plans" despite the "empire" wanting to take over the country's "riches."
