"Venezuela has told the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that the United States has continental ambitions over much of Latin America as it wages an unofficial war to remove the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. It's not just about Venezuela. The ambition is continental, Venezuela's UN ambassador, Samuel Moncada, told a meeting of the 15-member UNSC on Tuesday. The US government has expressed this in its National Security Strategy, which states that the future of the continent belongs to them, Moncada said."
"We want to alert the world that Venezuela is only the first target of a larger plan. The US government wants us to be divided so it can conquer us piece by piece, he said. Venezuela, earlier this month, requested that the UNSC meet to address the ongoing US aggression, which began in September when the White House launched air strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean."
The United States is accused of pursuing continental ambitions across Latin America and waging an unofficial war to remove the Venezuelan government. Air strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean began in September, with US authorities asserting without evidence that the vessels trafficked drugs to the United States. At least 105 people have been killed in the strikes, which legal experts and regional leaders describe as extrajudicial killings. A naval blockade on Venezuelan oil tankers sanctioned by the US has been imposed. Actions taken without congressional authorization raise claims of violations of international and US domestic law.
