'Pay attention': in English, Maduro sends direct message to American media amid imminent US war

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro accused the United States of trying to impose a “model of colonial and slave domination” on his country, vowing that Washington’s efforts to “steal Venezuela’s natural resources” would fail. Speaking at a meeting of the Council of Sectoral Vice Presidents alongside senior ministers, Maduro said the U.S. is constructing a “virtual reality” to justify intervention and destabilize the government, framing the standoff as part of a broader struggle for sovereignty and anti‑imperialist resistance.
