| Venezuela, in national unity, condemns Donald Trump's military threat and will defend its rights to free trade, navigability, free development, sovereignty, and national independence.

⬇️

On the night of December 16, 2025, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in violation of international law, free trade, and freedom of navigation, has issued a reckless and serious threat against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

On social media, he claims that Venezuela's oil, land, and mineral wealth are his property. Consequently, Venezuela must immediately hand over all its wealth to him. The US President is attempting to impose an utterly irrational naval blockade on Venezuela to steal the wealth that belongs to our country.

Venezuela, in full exercise of the international law that protects us, our Constitution, and the laws of the Republic, ratifies its sovereignty over all its natural resources, as well as the right to free navigation and free trade in the Caribbean Sea and the world's oceans. Consequently, it will proceed in strict accordance with the UN Charter to fully exercise its freedom, jurisdiction, and sovereignty above these warmongering threats.

Our ambassador to the UN will immediately denounce this serious violation of international law against Venezuela.

We call on the people of the United States and the peoples of the world to reject by all means this extravagant threat, which once again reveals Donald Trump's true intentions to steal the wealth of the country that gave birth to the United Liberation Army of South America and our Liberator Simón Bolívar. The people of Venezuela, in perfect popular, military, and police unity, will know how to defend their historic rights and triumph through the path of peace.

Mr. Donald Trump literally uses the following interventionist and colonialist expression: “until all the oil, land, and other assets they previously stole from us are returned to the US.” His true intention, which has been denounced by Venezuela and by the people of the US in large demonstrations, has always been to appropriate the country's oil, land, and minerals through gigantic campaigns of lies and manipulation.

Venezuela will never again be a colony of any empire or foreign power and will continue, together with its people, on the path of building prosperity and the unrestricted defense of our independence and sovereignty.

The Venezuelan people, in perfect unity with the military and police, remain steadfast in the unrestricted protection of their territory, their wealth, and their freedom. With our Father Liberator, we say: “Fortunately, we have seen a handful of free men defeat powerful empires.”
