US-Venezuela Standoff after US attack on boat Trump says carried drugs..!
There is a deepening standoff between the United States and Venezuela, an oil rich country, backed by America's biggest economic rival: China.
After this week's deadly US strike in the Caribbean -- an attack that killed 11 people on a boat US President Trump says was carrying illicit drugs from Venezuela -- his Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned the US is going to wage war on what he called narco-terrorists organizations.
In Caracas, the Venezualan President Nicolas Maduro says 'imperialism is launching a new attack' aimed at regime change. He insists his country will stand firm -- but to do that, will China have to step in?
