Mexico City: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday criticised U.S. military maneuvers in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela.
All disputes must be resolved through dialogue, Sheinbaum said, reiterating her government’s call for “non-intervention” and the “self-determination of peoples.”
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Monday that he has decided to mobilize 4.5 million civilian militias nationwide to thwart U.S. threats of war against his country.
Maduro’s announcement followed remarks by Venezuelan Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez, who accused Washington of trying to justify military actions in the Caribbean under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking.
Earlier this month, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi offered a reward of 50 million U.S. dollars for information leading to Maduro’s arrest, accusing him of having links to international drug trafficking.
