Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro reaffirmed his country’s commitment to sovereignty, peace, and self-determination, warning against threats targeting Venezuela, the Caribbean, and South America.

During an inspection of a school infrastructure restoration plan, Maduro declared, “Venezuela and the peoples of the Caribbean, all the peoples of the Caribbean and South America, have the right to peace. No one should threaten the Caribbean, no one should threaten South America, no one should threaten Venezuela.”

He stressed that the era of colonies is over, rejecting any form of subjugation. “No more colonies, no more slaves. We are sovereign, independent, rebellious, and brave as we have always been,” he said.

Rejecting US narratives

Maduro underscored that the Bolivarian National Armed Forces are not designed, trained, or deployed to impose regime change abroad or to plunder oil, gold, gas, or other resources. “We are compelled to defend ourselves and practice sovereignty,” he noted.

Questioning Washington’s motives, Maduro asked, “Do you really think the American empire wants good for Venezuela? Do they drop bombs or plan invasions because they love Venezuelans? What is behind the false accusations against Venezuela, already disproven by the UN, the EU, the World Customs Organization, and even by the DEA’s own data?”

Maduro dismissed US allegations as unfounded, stating that “even the people of the United States do not believe the lies spread about Venezuela or me.” He insisted that Caracas is winning the battle for truth: “We must win it every day, the truth of Venezuela, in the United States and worldwide.”

Maduro demands popular support for armed forces

He called on Venezuelans to support the country and its Bolivarian National Armed Forces, which he praised for defending the Caribbean area around Orchila Island during the Caribe Soberano 200 drills.

Maduro affirmed his independence from foreign powers and local elites, declaring: “I owe nothing to imperialism or to the homeland-selling oligarchy. The only ones I owe are the Venezuelan people, I owe them my life.”

Earlier, Maduro described US actions as an imperial attempt to seize Venezuela’s wealth and impose a client government, accusing Washington of waging an “immoral war” in violation of international law. He stressed that national unity is essential to counter and defeat these threats.

US hiking Caribbean tensions

The move comes against the backdrop of a US military build-up in the Caribbean and Latin America, carried out under the pretext of President Donald Trump’s campaign against drug cartels.

According to CNN, Trump is considering a range of options targeting drug cartels in Venezuela, including possible strikes inside Venezuelan territory as part of a broader strategy to weaken Maduro’s government.

Moreover, this comes after US President Donald Trump alleged on Monday that US forces had targeted another Venezuelan vessel, killing three people he described as "terrorists transporting narcotics". The operation, he claimed, expanded his administration’s campaign against drug cartels and broadened the scope of military force used to stop them.
