The UN Security Council will convene an emergency session next week amid rising tensions between Venezuela and the U.S., following Caracas' accusations of an illegal American oil blockade. Scheduled for Tuesday, the meeting comes after Venezuela labeled Washington’s actions as “crude piracy” and a violation of international law. 🔥
Venezuela’s UN mission accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of violating its sovereignty, citing recent sanctions on oil vessels and military flybys near its coast. The U.S. claims its actions target drug trafficking, but Caracas calls this a “false narrative” to justify regime change. 🚢💥
Earlier this week, Venezuela’s Defense Ministry condemned Trump’s blockade announcement as colonial expansionism, while Russia urged the U.S. to avoid “fatal mistakes” in the region. With over 90 lives lost in recent strikes, the crisis threatens to destabilize Latin America’s “zone of peace.” ⚖️🌎
