Caracas, December 1 (Xinhua) — US military threats in the Caribbean could impact the stability of the global energy market, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro warned in a letter to OPEC Secretary-General Haitham al-Ghaith.
US President Donald Trump has launched a "campaign of harassment and threats" against Venezuela since August, N. Maduro noted.
He said the deployment of more than 14 US warships and 15,000 military personnel in the Caribbean Sea creates an atmosphere of tension that could undermine regional security and impact energy supplies.
The President condemned the US attempt to seize Venezuela's crude oil reserves, warning that it poses a direct risk to the balance of the global market.
Venezuela will firmly defend its energy resources and will not succumb to external pressure, N. Maduro noted, adding that in the past, military interventions in oil-producing countries led to instability and negative consequences for both consumers and exporters. –0–
