Venezuela Arms Citizens Amid US Military Pressure, Claims Maduro's Government

As the United States increases military presence in the Caribbean, Nicolás Maduros government in Venezuela arms citizens, claiming defense against U.S. aggression aimed at regime change.

In August, the United States deployed warships and aircraft in the Caribbean under the pretext of an anti-drug operation, escalating tensions with Venezuela.
Nicolás Maduro condemned these military maneuvers as an aggressive act intended to destabilize his government and seize control of Venezuelas oil resources.
Diosdado Cabello, a prominent figure in the Venezuelan government, emphasized the states commitment to arm its people in response to perceived threats from the United States.
