Western media reports stated that representatives of the Venezuelan opposition held a closed-door meeting with senior U.S. government officials, including Secretary of State Rubio, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Ratcliffe. The main topic of the meeting was discussing the issue of power transition in Venezuela, as well as possible methods to remove, more accurately, overthrow the current president Nicolas Maduro.
Meanwhile, as the risk of U.S. military intervention increases, President Maduro of Venezuela signed an ordinance that significantly expanded his wartime powers. According to the new ordinance, the head of state of Venezuela has the authority to mobilize the armed forces, restrict citizens' constitutional rights, and partially or fully amend existing legislation.
