Venezuela's Maduro says the US is fabricating a war as aircraft carrier approaches

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro said the United States government is forging a war against him as the world's biggest warship approaches the South American country. In a national broadcast on Friday night, Maduro accused the administration of President Donald Trump of “fabricating a new eternal war." The U.S. government has increased the pressure on Maduro by taking the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which can host up to 90 airplanes and attack helicopters, closer to Venezuela.
