Maduro defiant after call with Trump, says Venezuela will not be colonized

From Associated Press.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Monday defiantly dismissed increasing pressure from the U.S., telling the people of his country he would remain steadfast and swearing "absolute loyalty" to them. "Rest assured that I will never ever fail you. There’s no way," he told a crowd in Caracas, where he cheered on supporters and danced to a techno song created from a recent speech during which he called for "peace forever" – in English. Talking about the standoff with the U.S., Maduro said Venezuela would accept neither "a slave’s peace, nor the peace of colonies!"
