The Political Bureau of the FA rejected the National Security Strategy “launched by the administration of US President Donald Trump, which violates international law and respect for the sovereignty and self-determination of our nations.”

It states that the offensive against Venezuela has reached an unprecedented level of severity.

It considers that “it is the most evident expression of the operational reactivation of the Monroe Doctrine, a historical mechanism, dating back to the 19th century, of domination and intervention against the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.”

The statement affirms that Washington’s military deployment “not only directly threatens the sovereignty of Venezuela, the explicit focus of the current offensive, but also compromises Colombia critically.”

The text also claims “dialogue for conflict solution and multilateralism as fundamental tools for building peace and global governance.”
