The Cuban delegation participating in the Peoples’ Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace in Our America wishes to make public its support for the communiqué from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela denouncing “the blatant theft and act of international piracy” constituted by the assault and seizure of an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea.

Our delegation condemns this new and extremely serious step in the escalation of aggression by the United States government against Venezuela, which comes just after the announcement of the so-called U.S. National Security Strategy, which, 200 years after its inception, revives the abominable Monroe Doctrine through the so-called “Trump Corollary.”

As the Bolivarian Communiqué states, the true objective of the imperial offensive against sister Venezuela has been exposed: the obsessive desire to appropriate its natural resources. This is a demonstration of everything that this declining empire, refusing to accept the irreversible advent of a multipolar international order, is willing to do to impose its agenda and interests on our peoples.

We call on all movements, organizations, and dignified individuals in the region and around the world to join us in denouncing this infamy.
