Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro broke into a dance at a weekend rally in Caracas, using the moment to repeat his call for peace as the United States increases military and political pressure on his government.
Videos went viral on social media showed Maduro jumping, moving his arms and swaying to an electronic track built from his own voice. The loop repeated in English: “No war, no crazy war. Peace, peace, yes peace.” Supporters waved flags as state media broadcast the footage.

Speaking at the Student Day event, Maduro urged young people to reach out to students in the US “Connect with student movements and students in the United States and tell them: ‘Stop the war. No to war. Venezuela wants peace,’” he said.
The performance came a week after another public moment in which Maduro sang John Lennon’s Imagine and held up peace signs before a crowd.

The rallies are taking place as the US expands its military presence in the Caribbean. Washington says its operations target narcotics trafficking. Venezuelan officials say the operations are unlawful and reject the claim.
The US State Department said in a statement: “The Department of State intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), effective November 24, 2025. Based in Venezuela, the Cartel de los Soles is headed by Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking individuals.”
Maduro has deployed troops and Russian-made defence systems in response, and has called for regional unity against external pressure.
