The governor of Puerto Rico has reached out to President-elect Trump for assistance following threats made by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro to invade the U.S. island territory. Maduro's provocative remarks came after his controversial swearing-in ceremony for a third presidential term, which has been widely condemned as illegitimate.
During an event in Caracas, Maduro suggested an invasion of Puerto Rico, citing a supposed agenda of liberation in response to perceived U.S. colonization efforts. Governor Jenniffer González-Colón expressed concerns over the threat, emphasizing the importance of U.S. national security and regional stability.
