Venezuela’s Maduro Issues Plea for Military Cooperation with Colombia
Maduro declared that regional peace and sovereignty depend fundamentally on solidarity among neighboring countries. His appeal specifically targeted Colombia's armed forces, urging them to stand united with Venezuela against external threats.
"I make my call to the people of Colombia, to its social movements, and to the Colombian military, whom I know very well," said Maduro. "I call upon them for a perfect union with Venezuela so that no one dares touch the sovereignty of our countries."
The Venezuelan leader's statement follows mounting provocations from the United States. Maduro accused US President Donald Trump of exposing his genuine objectives by claiming Venezuela had seized American "oil, land, and other assets."
Maduro denounced these allegations as "warmongering and colonialist pretense" aimed at justifying governmental overthrow.
"The aim is to impose a puppet government that wouldn't last 47 hours -- one that would hand over our Constitution and wealth, turning Venezuela into a colony," Maduro told supporters. "It will simply never happen."
Tensions surged Tuesday when Trump threatened to classify Maduro's administration as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). The American president proclaimed on his Truth Social platform that unprecedented naval forces now encircle the South American nation.
"Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the history of South America," Trump wrote. "It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before—until such time as they return to the United States... all of the oil, land, and other assets that they previously stole from us," he added.
