Venezuela’s UN ambassador denounces US military strikes and naval blockade at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
At a UN Security Council meeting, Venezuela’s UN ambassador Samuel Moncada condemned US military actions, claiming they reflect “continental ambitions” to destabilize Latin America. He accused the US of waging an unofficial war against Venezuela, asserting that the recent naval blockade and airstrikes are unjustified acts of aggression aimed at resource control. Moncada emphasized the need for global awareness of the US’s broader intentions, while the US defended its actions citing drug trafficking concerns. Responses from Russia and China highlighted the infringement on Venezuela’s sovereignty, warning against future US interventions.
