Escalating Tensions Between Venezuela and the United States Over Caribbean Strikes
Venezuela has vehemently condemned a series of recent U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean, describing them as illegal and a direct threat to its sovereignty. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has mobilized troops and militias in response to the alleged U.S. actions, which have included the destruction of Venezuelan vessels. The situation has prompted calls at the United Nations for an emergency meeting to address the rising tensions and allegations of U.S. aggression. Maduro has accused the U.S. of pursuing regime change and labeled its activities as a form of terrorism, while also calling for national unity against perceived threats from U.S. intelligence operations. As both nations exchange accusations, the international community is increasingly concerned about the potential for further escalation in the region.
