Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro brandished a sword and vowed to defend “every inch” of his country in a theatrical stunt during escalating tensions with President Trump.

The socialist despot was filmed wearing a military uniform and wielding the weapon in front of a crowd of thousands in the capital, Caracas, at a ceremony commemorating the 200th anniversary of the presentation of the Sword of Peru to South American independence hero Simon Bolivar.
