The U.S. government downplayed Venezuela's increased military presence along its border with Guyana, saying that all movements seen have been of a "very small nature and size and scale and scope."
The statement belongs to White House Spokesperson John Kirby, who added that the government has been "monitoring this closely," but the assessment is that there is no current indication that "there's about to be hostilities or that the Venezuelan military would be capable of conducting any significant military activities there."
