Venezuelan official Francisco Arias Cárdenas has strongly criticized recent statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding potential military intervention in Venezuela and the exploitation of its oil resources. Arias Cárdenas labeled Trump’s remarks as “illegal, offensive, and humiliating.” He specifically objected to the discussion of using Venezuelan oil as leverage, viewing it as a violation of the nation’s sovereignty. The official called on a dialogue commission to issue a statement addressing what he termed Trump’s “insolence”. This condemnation highlights ongoing tensions between the two countries as Venezuela grapples with a complex political and economic crisis. Arias Cárdenas’s strong words indicate growing frustration with perceived U.S. interference in Venezuelan affairs. The situation remains volatile with potential implications for regional stability.
