The president of the United States, Donald Trump, raised several months ago to his Cabinet the possibility of invading Venezuela alleging issues of national security, according to several media.
While many details of this conversation have not been revealed, it is known that this took place months ago since Trump exposed this option during a meeting with the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and the National Security Adviser of the White House, H.R. McMaster, who are no longer part of the Executive.
The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, reiterated his rejection of a military intervention by the United States and asked the Armed Forces not to "lower their guard for a second" to defend the "right" of the South American country to "live in peace" .
