Maduro Accuses U.S. of Plotting Armed Intervention to Seize Venezuela’s Resources

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused the United States of planning an armed aggression aimed at regime change in Caracas.

In a fiery statement, Maduro claimed that Washington seeks to

 “install a puppet government” and seize Venezuela’s vast oil, gas, and gold reserves, under the guise of promoting democracy.

“The people of the United States know that what’s being prepared is an invasion to steal the wealth of a nation charting its own course,” he said.
