Venezuela’s top diplomat has sounded the alarm over U.S. military activity in the Caribbean, calling it a threat to regional peace. Foreign Minister Yvan Gil warned Monday that Washington’s buildup risks turning Latin America and the Caribbean—a self-declared 'zone of peace'—into a hotspot for conflict.
Speaking at a regional foreign ministers' meeting in New York, Gil accused the U.S. of endangering stability. 💥 "Who could imagine an attack on Venezuela wouldn’t send shockwaves through neighboring countries or cripple the regional economy?" he asked, channeling concerns about spillover effects.
While stressing that Venezuela has "no dispute with the American people," Gil claimed the country faces "military aggression pushed by political factions in Washington." He revealed President Nicolás Maduro has ordered defensive measures to "prevent escalation," dismissing U.S. drug-trafficking allegations as "a great lie." 🚫💊
The fiery speech highlights growing tensions as global powers jostle for influence. For young readers tracking geopolitics, it’s a reminder of how local conflicts can ripple worldwide—and why Caribbean peace matters to us all. 🌊✌️
