The project of Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar, the revolutionary project of 21st-century socialism, they come to try to completely eradicate the greatest project that our America has had, which is the liberating project of the great Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar, of the great Antonio Jos\u00e9 de Sucre, they want to end the example of what we are doing,” he added.\n\nOn Monday, Maduro warned that his country faces what he considers the “greatest threat ever seen” in America “in the last 100 years”, with a deployment of eight military ships by the U.S. with 1,200 missiles and a nuclear submarine that, he denounced, “target” the South American nation, which would declare itself “in arms” if “attacked”.\n\nThis, the Chavista leader stated, is “an extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral, and absolutely criminal threat”<\/strong> as part of “what they call maximum pressure” to provoke a political change, behind which, he insisted, is Rubio, whom he called “the warlord”, and accused him of wanting to stain Trump’s hands with “Venezuelan blood”.\n\nThe U.S. head of state assured this Tuesday that the armed forces of his country eliminated eleven members of the Venezuelan transnational criminal gang Tren de Aragua – an organization that was designated as terrorist by his Administration – during a “kinetic attack” against a vessel transporting drugs in the Atlantic, of which he published a video on his Truth Social account.\n\nIn response, the Venezuelan Communications Minister, Freddy \u00d1\u00e1\u00f1ez, said that the material shared by Trump was created with artificial intelligence.\n\nMaduro made no reference during the event to this attack.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
