Venezuela's president Nicolás Maduro claims that the USA "are fabricating a war".

They are manufacturing a new eternal war – they promised that they would never again be involved in a war, and they are manufacturing a war that we will prevent, says Maduro.

The statement comes after it emerged that the US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America, which is a further escalation of the US military reinforcement in the region.

In recent weeks, the US has carried out a number of attacks on so-called drug boats, mainly off the coast of Venezuela, where a total of over 40 people have been killed. From Washington's perspective, the procedure is described as combating narcotics smuggling.

US President Donald Trump recently gave the intelligence agency CIA the green light to carry out secret operations within Venezuela, which is part of the US's attempts to put pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
