Maduro Considers Emergency Amid U.S. Aggression Claims | JQJO

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced he is considering declaring a state of emergency, citing U.S. "aggression" following deadly U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats. Vice President Delcy Rodriguez stated Maduro has signed a decree granting "special powers" for defense, though a government source indicated it's not yet finalized. This comes amid a U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean, which Venezuela views as an attack and a "bloody threat." The U.S. claims the deployment combats drug trafficking, while Venezuela accuses the U.S. of escalating tensions.
