The Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, is far from pleased with how the U.S. news network, CNN has reported recent protests there, and has threatened to expel it.
Mr. Maduro has vowed to go ahead with the move if CNN does not “rectify its coverage”.
Earlier on, Mr. Maduro confirmed that he was sending troops to the western state of Tachira, where there has been continuing unrest.
With tensions running high, the leader of the opposition, Henrique Capriles, has called for a fresh, peaceful anti-government march on Saturday.
At a news conference, Mr. Capriles rejected violence and said he was ready for dialogue, but claimed the government was not willing to listen.
In response, President Maduro has called the opposition politician a “murderer” and alleged he is being paid by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, to topple his government.
