Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro again pleaded for peace with the U.S. as the Trump administration ramps up pressure against the regime.
"We don't want war in the Caribbean and South America," Maduro said during a televised message. He then changed to English, saying: "Not war, yes peace. With the people of the United States. Please, please, please. Listen to me. From the people of the Bolivarian Republic."
