Guyana VP denies 'plan on invading Venezuela' as border row escalates

Guyana's Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said there is no plan on invading Venezuela as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered military exercise near the countries' disputed border in response to Britain sending a warship to the area.

“A lot of these measures were long-planned and they are routine and they are part of our building a defensive capability”, Bharrat Jagdeo told a press conference.
