"The chorus of disapproval comes in response to Trump's deployment of US warships off the coast of Venezuela. At least three US Navy guided missile destroyers and thousands of Marines are currently off the coast of Venezuela, with Pentagon officials citing President Donald Trump's January executive order designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and his directive authorizing military force to combat narcotraffickers abroad."
""China opposes any move that violates the purposes and principles of the [United Nations] Charter and a country's sovereignty and security." "We oppose the use or threat of force in international relations and the interference of external forces in Venezuela's internal affairs under any pretext," she added. "We hope that the United States will do more things conducive to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region.""
Countries, regional alliances, and anti-war voices have denounced the United States' deployment of warships off Venezuela's coast. At least three US Navy guided missile destroyers and thousands of Marines are positioned offshore, with Pentagon officials citing President Donald Trump's January executive order designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and his directive authorizing military force against narcotraffickers abroad. China publicly opposed actions it said violate the UN Charter and Venezuela's sovereignty, urging the United States to pursue peace and regional security. Members of the 11-nation ALBA-TCP issued a declaration during their virtual 13th Extraordinary Summit condemning interference, and nations including Brazil and Colombia voiced denunciations.
