Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has repeated calls for peace and pledged "absolute loyalty" to his people at a rally attended by thousands of people in Caracas, as tensions escalate over possible military action by the United States.
Monday's rally came as US President Donald Trump met with his national security team at the White House to discuss "next steps" on Venezuela, according to media reports.
Addressing a crowd waving Venezuelan flags outside the Miraflores Palace, Maduro said his country wanted peace, but only a peace "with sovereignty, equality and freedom."
" We do not want the peace of slaves, nor the peace of colonies! Colonies, never! Slaves, never ," he said.
The Trump administration has been pressuring Venezuela with a military buildup in the Caribbean in what it calls a campaign against drug trafficking. Caracas says the actions are aimed at toppling Maduro's government.
