Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro orders over 5,600 military personnel to participate in a "defensive" exercise near the border with Guyana in response to the UK sending the warship HMS Trent.

Maduro emphasizes that Venezuela believes in diplomacy and peace, but will not tolerate threats to its sovereignty.from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/s0hHUSJ
