On the 15th, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Hill said that in recent weeks, the U.S. government has continuously intensified its military threat to Venezuela under the pretext of "combating drug trafficking", seriously violating the principles of international law.
Hill said the United States had no reason to defend militarization in the Caribbean and stressed that such actions concealed covetousness for Venezuelan resources. He emphasized that the Venezuelan people firmly safeguard national sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity on the basis of the unity of the military and civilian police.
