Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello considered that Wednesday would be… “Imperial madness” The Dominican Republic is allowing the United States to use two airports in Santo Domingo “temporarily” as part of the fight against drug trafficking in the region through the US Operation Lanza del Sur.
“In the imperial madness, they threaten us every day, every day they invent something, and if they don’t invent it they recycle it. It makes me want to laugh because today I see that President of the Dominican Republic (Luis Abinader) allows flights to the United States. You weren’t born and this airport belongs to gringos. “But they recycle,” Cabello said on his weekly program “Con el mallet Giving,” broadcast on state channel VTV.
Likewise, he said there was a “narrative” that had been shot down and cited by the “Sun Cartel,” the group designated as terrorist by the United States on Monday and which is allegedly led by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other officials in his government, although Cabello considers it an “invention.”
“Today, on the table, for the whole world, it is clear that this is so,” he added What the United States wants is to steal Venezuela’s natural resources. That’s why they hide everything to try to justify it,” said the second-in-command of Chavismo.
In addition, Cabello announced a phase of organizing in communities “whatever the circumstances” and spoke of defending the country in moments of tension due to the US military deployment in the Caribbean, which Maduro sees as an attempt to encourage regime change.
In this sense, he explained that starting from Thursday until Saturday, Venezuela will move to the “Communities Phase,” where from They will organize themselves to “defend the revolution” and “the homeland.”
The United States will “temporarily” use two airports in the Dominican Republic as part of its fight against drug trafficking in the region through Operation Southern Lances, President Abinader and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Wednesday after their meeting at the National Palace.
In the presence of Hegseth, the first US Secretary of War to make an official visit to the country, Abi Nader explained that the Americas International Airport and the San Isidro Military Airport, both in Santo Domingo province, will allocate areas for transporting equipment and technical personnel as part of Washington’s operations in the Caribbean.
