Venezuela Holds Drills Amid U.S. Coup Bid
CARACAS (Dispatches) -- The Venezuelan military has launched large-scale drills to bolster its combat readiness after the U.S. threatened that it could use military force to oust the elected government of President Nicolas Maduro.
Madruo traveled to the central state of Miranda on Sunday to inspect the troops and military equipment stationed there and attend the opening ceremony of the maneuvers, which will be held across the country and will last until February 15.
