New Delhi, (Asian independent) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has ordered a joint military action by the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) in eastern Venezuela amid what he described as a “threat” from Britain.

After diplomatic measures fell short, Venezuela would respond in a “proportional” manner and reserves all corresponding actions within the framework of international law, he said, adding that the British attitude was “unacceptable.”
