The United States invoked the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance due to Venezuela's military exercises near the Colombian border, which are seen as aggressive. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo highlighted the threat posed by Nicolás Maduro's actions to regional peace. The Treaty of Rio allows for measures ranging from diplomatic breaks to military action. Venezuela's military exercises, involving 150,000 troops and missile systems, have heightened tensions with Colombia, which denies any hostile plans. The OAS has called for a meeting of treaty signatories to address the situation.
