Venezuela's Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said Wednesday that the country is prepared for a "prolonged war" as tensions escalate with the United States over expanded military presence in the Caribbean.
Speaking on state television, Cabello, considered one of the most powerful figures in President Nicolás Maduro's government, declared that "the country is prepared" and claimed that even "sectors of the opposition have joined the initiative to defend the homeland," as Euro News reports.
