The United States and Venezuela are in a very serious disagreement. The US government wants Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to leave his job. President Trump called Maduro and told him to resign. Maduro said no.
At the same time, the US sent many soldiers and warships to the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela. The US says it is stopping drug ships. But Venezuela says this is an attack on their country. The US military has attacked many boats. Some people died. One attack in September is now a big problem. Some US leaders are asking if it was a legal action.
President Maduro is angry. He told a big crowd in Caracas that Venezuela will not be a colony or slaves. He says the US wants to take Venezuela's oil and other resources.
Now, the situation is very dangerous. The US is using more pressure and Venezuela is refusing to cooperate. This leaves the people of Venezuela in a very difficult position.
