The America-Venezuela Conflict

Maduro saw the deployment of American warships off the Venezuelan coast in the Caribbean as an operation intended to eventually overthrow him.

Washington confirms that the purpose of these moves is to confront drug smuggling operations. American fighters bombed several boats under the pretext that they were smuggling drugs from Venezuela to the United States.

Maduro indicated in a post on Telegram that the new exercises are being carried out in a corridor extending from the Caribbean to the Orinoco River on the border with Brazil.

He wrote "We are active since midnight"And he confirmed "Venezuela’s right to peace" In the face of what he described as a military escalation by the United States. For her part, Machado expressed her support for the American military movements in the region.

On Friday evening, Trump, who keeps repeating that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his efforts in ending eight wars, confirmed that Machado had contacted him, and Machado was awarded the prestigious award in honor of her efforts to promote democracy in Venezuela, where he dominates Maduro to rule.

Trump said "The person who actually won the Nobel Prize called me and told me to accept it in your honor, because you really deserve it"

He continued: "It is a very nice initiative"Adding: as a joke "But I did not say to her: Give it to me then, even if I thought she would have done it. She was very nice".
