Imagine waking up to find your entire country has suddenly changed its status on the world map. For some, it might be a wild theory, but for Venezuela, it's a hard "no." 🚫
Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, recently made it crystal clear during a press conference in The Hague: Venezuela is NOT looking to become another US state. While attending proceedings at the International Court of Justice, Rodriguez shut down the idea, emphasizing the deep-rooted value of independence in her country.
"That is not planned. It would never be planned," Rodriguez stated firmly. She highlighted that Venezuelans have a profound love for their independence process, reminding everyone that the country's history is built on the sacrifices of those who fought to ensure Venezuela remained a free nation rather than a colony. 🛡️✨
Despite the high stakes, there's still a push for conversation. Rodriguez mentioned that US President Donald Trump is aware that Venezuela has been pursuing a "diplomatic agenda of cooperation," suggesting that diplomacy remains the only real path forward. 💬
In a world that's constantly shifting, Venezuela is sticking to its guns—defending its integrity, sovereignty, and history with pride. 🌍🇻🇪
