Caracas, September 23 (Xinhua) — The deployment of U.S. troops to the Caribbean threatens Latin America and the Caribbean's status as a "zone of peace," Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil warned Monday at a meeting of foreign ministers of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in New York.
According to him, US threats are aimed not only at Venezuela but also at regional stability. "Who could have imagined that an attack on our country would not affect its neighbors or the regional economy?" the minister said.
I. Gil emphasized that Venezuela has no disputes with the United States, but is facing “an attempt at military aggression encouraged by political elements” in Washington.
He noted that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro ordered containment measures "to prevent the escalation of this conflict" and called US claims about official Caracas' connection to drug trafficking "a big lie." –0–
