The Venezuelan ambassador to the UN, Samuel Moncada, warned before the emergency meeting requested by the country to the Security Council, that the US government is a threat to the peace of the region.
«The world must know that the threat is not Venezuela, the threat is the current United States Government. It’s not Venezuela, it’s the US,” he said after remembering that the US government is already claiming the largest oil reserve in the world as its own, openly declared by US President Donald Trump.
“There is no war in the Caribbean, nor an armed conflict, which is why it is absurd for the US to apply the rules of the right to war,” Moncada argued. “These are extrajudicial executions,” which was denounced in the session of the Security Council itself on October 10, highlighting a flagrant violation of International Law. “Today there are 4 times as many victims, they do not want to show their cruelty because of the consequences and the global repudiation that the images would bring,” he said.
He also expressed his concern about the United States’ intention to invade Venezuela, to demand that the Bolivarian nation hand over its land, oil and minerals.
“The world must know that the threat is not Venezuela, the threat is the current United States Government,” he reiterated.
Representatives of Russia and China harshly criticized the military and economic pressure exerted by the United States on Venezuela before the UN Security Council held on Tuesday, calling it “cowboy behavior” and “intimidation.”
“The acts committed by the United States go against all fundamental norms of international law,” declared the Russian ambassador, Vasili Nebenzia, who described the blockade as a “flagrant aggression.” “Washington’s responsibility is also evident in the catastrophic consequences of this cowboy attitude,” he added.
«The United States is perpetrating totally unacceptable acts because they go against the fundamental norms of international law, as well as the resolutions of the Security Council and the Charter of the United Nations. Colleagues, today the blockade imposed by the United States on the coasts of Venezuela constitutes a true act of aggression, he stressed.
“China opposes all acts of unilateralism and intimidation and supports all countries in defending their sovereignty and national dignity,” declared the Chinese representative, Sun Lei.

“The United States will do everything in its power to protect our hemisphere, our borders and the American people,” responded Washington’s ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz. However, he did not give any explanation related to the theft of Venezuelan oil or the vessels or the kidnapping of their crew members. Nor did he refer to the extrajudicial executions that have involved more than 100 victims since last September.
The United States ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, limited himself to repeating that the United States will impose sanctions “to the maximum” on Venezuela” and reiterated that the American president, Donald Trump, has been “very clear” in his intention to use “all the power and force of the United States” to confront and eradicate the drug cartels, which have operated with impunity in our hemisphere for too long”, insisting on his argument of the use of force to combat the passage of drugs through the region.
