Maduro confronts the United States.
On September 8 local time, Venezuelan President Maduro criticized the United States in a TV program, accusing the US of open aggression in the Caribbean. He said passionately, "There is no tension at all. This is the US's aggression against Venezuela. Aggression. This is not tension. These are euphemisms they use to normalize Goliath's aggression against David, the aggression of a superpower against a peaceful country."
Previously, CNN reported that President Trump was considering an aggressive plan - considering military strikes on targets within Venezuela, with the core purpose of weakening the influence of the Maduro regime and forcing it to step down. Subsequently, White House press spokesperson Levitt also came forward to "confirm," saying that the Trump administration was willing to use "all of America's power" to intervene in Venezuelan affairs under the pretext of "combating drug trafficking."
It is clear to anyone who sees clearly that "anti-drug" is merely an excuse for the United States to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and its real intention is to undermine the Maduro regime through pressure. Faced with the continuous pressure from the United States, Maduro chose to confront it head-on, not only exposing the US's hegemonic lies, but also demonstrating Venezuela's firm position of refusing external interference and safeguarding national sovereignty.
