Hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to “blow out of existence” the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro announced Tuesday night that the government is considering a decree that would declare a state of external unrest.

The decision was announced during an extraordinary meeting of Venezuela’s Council of State at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro made the announcement alongside Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, Attorney General Tarek William Saab, President of the Supreme Court of Justice Caryslia Rodriguez, and President of the National Assembly Jorge Rodriguez.

This unprecedented Constitutional measure would allow Venezuela to take exceptional actions in the face of a possible military attack by the United States.
