The Venezuelan president, has accused this morning to the administration of, and in particular of the US Secretary of State, who “commands in the White House”, of wanting the “free Venezuelan oil.” It is his first reaction after Washington has announced and supposedly carried a drug cargo, killing eleven “terrorists” who were on board.
“They really come for Venezuelan oil, they want it for free, for gas, but that oil does not belong to Maduro, and less to the gringos, that oil belongs to you, (…) that first reserve of oil in the world is from the people of Venezuela,” said the president, as he had done on Monday. A barrage with some prudence, then.
The president has also pointed out that “imperialism attacks us (…) because they invent a story that nobody believes; the United States youth does not believe the lies of the mandamás of the White House, Marco Rubio, because the one who commands (…) is Marco Rubio, the Miami mafia that wants to fill the hands of the president Donald Trump.” “I tell the Trump family (who) want to stain the surname Trump of Blood,” he said.
Maduro also stressed that Washington’s attack is due to “a second wealth that is more powerful than any other, and is the Simón Bolívar project, the revolutionary project of 21st century socialism.”
“They do not want to be that the United States youth puts their eyes in Venezuela, where there is a territorial democracy. We tell you that Venezuela does not spend the budget on wars, or in invasions, or to throw missiles and bombs to the peoples. The budget of Venezuela is invested in the projects that youth decides, that the town of the base decides. That is what they want to end,” Paz, with sovereignty, with people, with equality, with democracy, freely, and they have not been able to or can ever. “
In addition, the Venezuela government has accused the United States to create artificial intelligence the video published by Trump with images of the announced attack on the supposed Narcois. Through Telegram, the head of Venezuelan Communication, Freddy Ñáñez, said that “it seems” that the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, “continues to lying to its president” and, “after putting him in a dead end, now gives him a video with AI”.
The attack
Maduro has pronounced these words after his American counterpart has announced that the army has shot at a vessel in the Caribbean waters from Venezuela and that he allegedly carried a shipment of drugs, killing 11 “terrorists” who were on board. An announcement that the Republican has made of passing, in an appearance that did not expressly have to do with Venezuela, which implies that, at the beginning, his administration tries to maintain a low level with this crisis.
Subsequently, Trump has detailed that “the attack has resulted in the death of 11 terrorists in action” and that “no member of the US armed forces has been injured.” “Please, this serves as a warning to anyone who is considering bringing drugs to the United States,” he said through his social network profile social, where he has published a video of the moment of bombing.
The White House tenant explained that the Army “carried out this morning a kinetic attack against Narcoterroristas of the Aragua train in the area of responsibility of the southern command of the United States (Southcom)”, remembered that this group in Washington is considered a foreign terrorist organization.
The attack has been confirmed later by the head of the American diplomacy who has pointed out in press statements that “these drugs in particular were probably addressed to Trinidad or some other Caribbean country”, although it has insisted that it will be the Department of Defense who offers more details regarding the operation.
Rubio has stressed that “a part (of the drug) ends in Europe. Much ends in Puerto Rico and then in the United States.” “So no one should be surprised. That is why (American military ships) are there on an anti -drug mission, and will continue to operate,” he added.
Asked about the “legal basis” of this blow, the head of the State Department has indicated that “I will not answer for the legal advisor of the White House”, although he has reiterated his defense of the attack because “when US streets are flooded with drugs, he is terrifying the United States, and that will end.”
Rubio has finally assured that the US authorities will fight cartels “wherever they are and wherever they operate against the interests of the United States”, being consulted on a possible action “on Venezuelan soil.” Nor has he wanted to go further, despite the fact that he was reminded that Maduro denounced Monday before the community of Latin American and Caribbean states (CELAC) the presence of up to eight warships and a nuclear submarine from the United States in the Caribbean waters, near the Latin American country, and that an incident can lead to a “complete war” in the region.
