President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela issued a stern warning to Britain, cautioning against interference with his country, as he mobilized thousands of troops in response to the deployment of a Royal Navy ship to the region.

In his statement, Maduro referred to Britain as a “decadent, rotten, ex-empire” while directing the deployment of troops into defensive maneuvers in anticipation of the arrival of HMS Trent, dispatched to support the neighboring nation of Guyana in an ongoing territorial dispute.

On Sunday, Britain announced its decision to redirect the patrol vessel to the former British colony, amid Venezuela’s longstanding contention over the oil-rich Essequibo region.

A source from the Guyana foreign ministry, speaking anonymously to AFP, revealed that the ship is expected to arrive on Friday and will be present in Guyana’s territory for “less than a week” to conduct open sea defense exercises, with no plans to dock in Georgetown, the Telegraph reported.
