Venezuela president Nicolas Maduro has pleaded with US President Donald Trump to choose peace over war.

In a video released last night, Maduro spoke in English, called for peace with the US.

Mr Maduro’s appeal came after the Trump administration launched a tenth strike against alleged drug traffickers since early September.

Mr Maduro is a long-time adversary of Mr Trump, who has accused him of being the leader of a drug-trafficking organization.

The Venezuelan president has denied these claims.

The six deaths brings the total people killed in the US strikes to at least 43.

Two of the men killed are believed to be from Trinidad and Tobago.
