Nicolas Maduro declared this Wednesday that Oil “round-trip trade” to continue of its Venezuela, after US President Donald Trump announced a “total and complete blockade of all sanctioned tankers entering and leaving” … of the South American nation, and accused the American president of having a “warlike pretension”.
“It is illegal … to attempt to prevent free naval commerce in the seas and oceans of the world. (…) Venezuela will continue to trade all its products, (…) trade will continue on both sides of our oil and all our natural wealth,” Maduro said during a meeting with members of the “Bolivarian Society” in Caracas, broadcast by the state channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV).
In this context, the leader of the Chavista regime affirmed that the “the only rightful owner forever and ever” One of the riches and lands of this South American country lies in its people.
Likewise, he considered “a warlike and colonialist pretension” This is the recent statement by Trump, who said he hopes Caracas “will return to his nation all the oil, land and other assets they previously stole.”
“Everyone now sees the truth, the truth has been revealed, a regime change is planned in Venezuela to impose a puppet government that would not even last 47 hours, which would hand over the Constitution, sovereignty and all the wealth and turn Venezuela into a colony. It’s just not going to happen,” he said.
Maduro also said his country opposed the war amid tensions with the United States, which maintains a military deployment in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela.
“War? “We said no.”he declared.
In this sense, the Chavista leader stressed that his country has the level of “the most powerful national union” and that it aims to guarantee respect for its sovereignty.
He further called on the Colombian army for a “perfect union” with Venezuela in favor of the sovereignty of these neighboring nations, whose governments reject the naval deployment of the United States and its attacks on ships allegedly loaded with drugs.
Last week, the United States Southern Command, which attacked more than 30 boats allegedly linked to drug trafficking in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, took a turn in its operations in international waters by seizing the tanker Skipper, which was carrying Venezuelan crude oil near the coast of the South American country and was intercepted by court order.
Trump claimed Wednesday that Venezuela had taken away oil rights from U.S. companies and said he wanted them back.
