Venezuela's president Nicolás Maduro condemns what he calls a "coup orchestrated by CIA". The statement comes after the US president Donald Trump confirmed that CIA has been given the go-ahead to carry out secret operations within Venezuela.

No to war in the Caribbean... No to regime change... No to coup orchestrated by the CIA, says the president.

The message means a sharp escalation when it comes to the US's attempts to put pressure on President Nicolás Maduro, who Trump accuses of being involved in narcotics smuggling to the US.

Washington has since the beginning of September struck against what one calls "narcotics boats" off the coast of Venezuela. At least 27 people are said to have been killed.
