Mayor of Caracas Jorge Rodriguez told La Radio Sur, "We are going to a great anti-imperialist march ... to tell those who insist on aggression against Venezuela, that Venezuela is not a country that kneels, that Venezuela is not a country that tolerates any type of interference action of any power, nor of any country."

Over 200 delegates have been attending the "We Are All Venezuela" summit in Caracas in an act of solidarity with the country's people in order to discuss solutions and actions to bring peace to the nation.

National Constituent Assembly President Delcy Rodriguez said Venezuelans will defend their country from threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in the country.

The event will conclude with a meeting with the ANC and an anti-imperialist march Tuesday.
