MADURO WARNS T&T AGAINST TAKING PART IN US MILITARY DRILLS
Raphael John-Lall
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is warning that T&T’s military drills with the US could “threaten peace” in the Caribbean region.
On Friday, T&T’s Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Sean Sobers announced the US Marine Corps 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) will be coming to Port-of-Spain to take part in military training exercises from November 16 to 21 with the local defence force.
"They say they're going to do it from Monday to Thursday …. Well, the people of Trinidad and Tobago will see if they continue to tolerate the use of their waters and land to seriously threaten the peace of the Caribbean," Maduro declared.
Speaking Saturday during the swearing-in ceremony of the Bolivarian Base Committees of the ruling Socialist Party (PSUV) in the Petare parish of Miranda state, Venezuela, Maduro said the Government of T&T had once again announced the ex*****on of "irresponsible military exercises" in its waters off the coast of the Venezuelan state of Sucre, with the intention of projecting a threatening attitude towards the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Maduro called on the people of the eastern Venezuelan states of Bolívar, Monagas, Sucre, Anzoátegui, and Nueva Esparta to join the military and police in establishing a permanent vigil and march in the face of new threats.
At the same time, he called for a mobilization to send a clear and forceful message: “Out with imperialist ships, out with military threats! Venezuela demands respect! Venezuela must be respected. We demand respect for this homeland of honor, peace, and truth."
Maduro reiterated that the aim of the US was to plunder Venezuela's natural resources. "We don't interfere with anyone in this world. They want to steal our oil. Are we going to let them steal Venezuela's oil? They want to steal Venezuela's gas. Are we going to let them?"
The US-led military drills in T&T and in the Caribbean region are taking place as relations between Venezuela and T&T have soured with Venezuela declaring T&T’s Prime Minister Persona Non Grata and Venezuela’s Government suspending all energy negotiations with T&T.
