Maduro calls on Trump to prevent war amid regional tensions
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro expressed growing concern over escalating regional tensions and the looming threat of military action.
As the United States intensifies its military and political efforts against Venezuela, including covert operations and the possibility of ground intervention, Maduro addressed US President Donald Trump in English, pleading for the avoidance of armed conflict.
During an important meeting with union leaders, the leader of Venezuela emphasized the importance of peace, stating, ‘Yes, peace, yes, forever peace.
No to crazy war!’ This statement came amid reports of increased sanctions and military maneuvers by the US in the region, provoking strong reactions from Caracas authorities.
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino pointed out that any attempts by the US to deploy covert operations via the CIA would be futile.
Although discussions of potential strikes against drug cartels and sanctions are ongoing, President Trump has yet to officially authorize the removal of Maduro, although he considers this scenario if the Venezuelan leader is officially declared a drug lord and terrorist.
Analysts warn that the situation remains highly volatile, with diplomatic contacts between the involved parties temporarily severed, further complicating the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela.
