Puerto Rico governor calls on Trump to address Maduro's threat of invasion

Puerto Rico's Governor Jenniffer González-Colón has urged President-elect Donald Trump to respond quickly to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's recent threat to "liberate" Puerto Rico from U.S. control. She described Maduro's comments as a direct threat to national security. Maduro made his remarks during a speech in Caracas, claiming that Puerto Rico's freedom is pending and suggesting military support from Brazil. This follows his controversial re-election in Venezuela, which the U.S. has criticized for electoral fraud. González-Colón's appeal highlights the ongoing tensions between Puerto Rico and Venezuela, as well as the complicated history between Trump and the island. She hopes for a strong U.S. response to protect Puerto Rico's sovereignty.
