Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is warning Colombia not to build a U.S. base on its border with his country, saying he considers such a move an "aggression."
Chavez told an auditorium packed with uniformed soldiers on Wednesday that he will not allow Colombia's U.S.-backed government to establish an American military base in La Guajira, a region spanning northeastern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.
Diplomatic relations between Caracas and Bogota have been rocky for months.
They worsened last week when Colombia unveiled documents allegedly showing that Chavez sought to arm and finance Colombian rebels, who have been engaged in a four-decade-long civil war with the government.
