"Peace must prevail, affirmed Maduro, who also resorted to his deliberately clumsy English to proclaim Not war, peace. No to regime change, which reminds us so much of the failed wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. No to coups d'etat carried out by the CIA like those in Chile and Argentina. Until when will CIA coups d'etat continue? Latin America doesn't want them, doesn't need them, and repudiates them, continued Hugo Chavez's successor."
"The president claims that Venezuela emptied their prisons into the United States of America, alluding to the alleged presence in the U.S. of criminals linked to the Tren de Aragua mega-gang, and maintains that we have a lot of drugs coming in from Venezuela, and a lot of the Venezuelan drugs come in through the sea... On Tuesday, the president announced the fifth sinking of a supposed drug boat originating in Venezuela."
Nicolás Maduro called for political understanding with the Donald Trump administration while condemning historical CIA-led coups across Latin America, comparing Venezuela's situation to pre-1973 Chile and pre-1976 Argentina. He appealed to all sectors of American society to remain alert to prevent a war in the Caribbean and South America and demanded that peace prevail, declaring 'Not war, peace. No to regime change.' Maduro linked opposition to foreign intervention with memories of failed wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. The statements followed reports that Trump authorized CIA covert operations inside Venezuela and public claims about Venezuelan-linked drug trafficking and criminal migration.
