According to Xinhua News Agency, Venezuelan Defense Minister Lopez said on the 17th that US President Trump's remarks about blocking the Caribbean are “delusional.” Lopez said that the Caribbean Sea was originally a space for cooperation, free trade, and free navigation, rather than a closed sea area serving the interests of the United States. The US claims that Venezuela “steals” US oil resources is even more nonsense. The Venezuelan Ministry of Defense said in an government communiqué posted via social media on the same day that Trump's remarks and practices constituted vile acts of piracy. This confirms that its previous threat to combat “drug terrorism” is a false narrative. The real purpose is to push for regime change in Venezuela and rudely plunder oil and other natural resources, which is a revival of the “Monroe Doctrine.” The Commission called on multilateral organizations to take action against America's insanely belligerent attitude, which endangers the energy stability of Latin America and the Caribbean region and the world.
