Venezuela Accuses US of Continent-Wide Plan to Remove Its Government at UN

Venezuela’s UN ambassador Samuel Moncada said the US aims to dominate the region by first isolating Venezuela and then controlling neighboring countries. Moncada accused Washington of attacking Venezuelan ships without evidence, causing over a hundred deaths.

The US ambassador, Michael Waltz, countered that Latin American drug cartels pose the greatest threat, justifying US actions. Russia and China warned that US interventions violate Venezuela’s sovereignty and could set precedents for future interventions in the region. Analysts note rising geopolitical tensions in Latin America surrounding Venezuela.
