“The Venezuelan government has made it clear that these aggressions by the Government of the United States of America, which have been escalating in recent years through the enactment and illegal application of unilateral coercive measures, smear campaigns, the discrediting of our legitimate institutions, and the judicialization for political purposes, have now reached an unprecedented level of hostility and threat, especially following the recent deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean.”

5. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Samuel Moncada, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela:
“The presence of destroyers and a missile-launching cruiser, as well as the deployment of a nuclear-capable submarine, has generated particular alarm. This is the first time in history – that’s the important point - that military assets with nuclear capacity have been introduced in Latin America and the Caribbean.”

“We denounce before the world, in the strongest possible terms, that the introduction of a nuclear component in the Caribbean undermines hemispheric stability, erodes confidence in the international non-proliferation and disarmament regime, and endangers both regional and international peace and security.”
