The Russian Foreign Ministry said this Thursday (25) that the United States (USA) is reviving piracy and banditry in the Caribbean Sea by blockading Venezuela. He added that he hopes that US President Donald Trump’s pragmatism will help avoid a disaster.
“Today we are witnessing complete lawlessness in the Caribbean Sea, where theft of other people’s property, that is, piracy and banditry, are being revived,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said about the situation.
“We consistently advocate de-escalation,” Zakharova said. “We hope that US President Donald Trump’s pragmatism and rationality will allow mutually acceptable solutions to be found for the parties within the framework of international legal norms.”
“We confirm our support for the efforts of Nicolás Maduro’s government to protect sovereignty and national interests and maintain the stable and secure development of his country,” he added.
