Venezuela Says Ready For Diplomatic Confrontation With US
Venezuela’s interim leadership said it is not afraid to confront the United States diplomatically and is prepared to defend the country’s interests through political and diplomatic channels. The remarks were made amid continuing tensions between Caracas and Washington following recent political developments in Venezuela.
Emphasis On Sovereignty
The interim government said Venezuela expects its sovereignty to be respected and rejected what it described as external pressure on internal political affairs. It added that while it is open to dialogue, such engagement must be based on mutual respect and recognition of Venezuela’s independence.
Call For Dialogue
Despite the strong language, the leadership said it prefers diplomatic engagement over escalation. It indicated readiness to communicate with the United States and other international partners to resolve differences through talks rather than confrontation.
Wider Context
Relations between Venezuela and the US have remained strained for years due to sanctions, recognition disputes and differing positions on governance. The latest statement reflects an effort by Venezuela’s interim leadership to project confidence while signalling openness to diplomacy.
