Venezuela's Maduro rallies civilian militia volunteers, citing US invasion 'threat'

Thousands of Venezuelans on Saturday queued up across Caracas to enlist in a civilian militia in response to "threats" of a US invasion. The show of force counters earlier accusations by the Trump administration that President Nicolas Maduro is leading a drug cartel. Three days ago, Washington deployed war ships off the coast of Venezuela to curb what it says are drug trafficking activities.
