According to the newspaper, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent a message to his Chinese counterpart requesting an expansion of military cooperation.
According to documents from the newspaper, Maduro also asked the Chinese government to accelerate the production of radar detection systems, while the Venezuelan Ministry of Transportation coordinated a shipment of drones from Iran.
With tensions escalating in the region, and in response to reports about the possibility of U.S. strikes on Venezuela at any time, President Donald Trump said he does not consider directing strikes against Venezuela.
Meanwhile, Trinidad and Tobago put its armed forces on high alert and summoned all its soldiers to their bases, amid rising tensions between the United States and Venezuela.
