Why it matters:
U.S. actions in Latin America continue to destabilize regional security, where decades of intervention have fueled political turmoil and social unrest.
The big picture:
As Washington increases its military presence in the Caribbean with additional stealth fighter jets, President Nicolás Maduro voiced broader concerns over renewed U.S. intervention in Latin America. Tensions escalated further following the Trump administration’s illegal military action in Venezuela, raising fears of a wider conflict.
What he is saying:
Maduro stated: “We may have differences, but none justify turning South America into a battlefield or dragging our America into violence.”
Key points:
- Maduro’s comments coincide with U.S. military deployments in the Caribbean.
- Washington’s latest aggression included an attack that killed 11 people under the pretext of fighting alleged drug trafficking.
