Venezuela envia 15.000 soldados para a fronteira enquanto navios de guerra dos EUA se aproximam

Venezuela sent 15,000 soldiers, drones, aircraft and river security equipment to its border with Colombia to fight drug trafficking, announced Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, citing the seizure of 53 tons of drugs this year. The move follows U.S. accusations that President Nicolás Maduro and Cabello are linked to drug cartels, with Washington offering up to $50 million in rewards for Maduro’s capture. Maduro dismissed the allegations as an imperialist threat, according to Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, the U.S. deployed two additional warships, the USS Lake Erie and USS Newport News, to the Caribbean to join a larger amphibious squadron aimed at Latin American drug cartels.
