Nicolás Maduro insisted that the people of the United States are the ones who have a fundamental role in avoiding a “tragedy on the continent.” Jorge Rodríguez asks the Trump administration to “cease its military operations in the Caribbean Sea and threats against Latin America”
Nicolás Maduro addressed the Americans this Friday, November 14, to ask them to stop their president, Donald Trump, in the military action he has maintained in the Caribbean since mid-August to fight against drug trafficking.
“Stop the mad hand of those who order a war in the Caribbean,” he said during the closing of the “Meeting of Jurists in Defense of International Law” and in the midst of the growing tension between Washington and Caracas, which the ruling party claims is seeking a regime change in the country.
Maduro insisted that the people of the United States are the ones who have a fundamental role in avoiding a “tragedy on the continent.” He assured that the majority of the citizens of that country do not want a war in America.
Maduro’s statements come one day after the Trump administration announced Operation Southern Spear in the Caribbean, following the arrival in the Caribbean of the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the Gerald Ford.
For his part, the president of the Peace Council, Jorge Rodríguez, asked the countries of the region to categorically condemn “all forms of interference, coercion, unilateral coercive measures or aggression that violate the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples.”
Likewise, he asked for respect for international law and the charter of the United Nations as “the only way for the peaceful resolution of disputes.”
The president of the National Assembly also demanded that the United States “cease its military operations in the Caribbean Sea and threats against Latin America.” Rodríguez insisted: “We are calm here, we are the ones attacked, we are the victims and those crazy people are the ones who have been in the brutal action in the Caribbean Sea, but they want to try to make us equal.”
