Recruitment Day Venezuela
The governor of Tachira state, Freddy Bernal (center), talks with General Leonardo Valladares (left), commander of the ZODI (Integrated Defence Zone), during a recruitment process in San Cristobal, Venezuela, on August 23, 2025. Venezuelan government authorities carry out recruitment activities targeting citizens and public officials as part of the homeland defense plan. The United States deploys three destroyers and an amphibious squadron near Venezuela under orders from Donald Trump, in an operation against drug trafficking. Caracas denounces the action as an attempt at ''regime change'' and mobilizes 4.5 million militiamen. (Photo by Jorge Mantilla/NurPhoto)
