Venezuelan Ambassador Warns U.S. Is Preparing an Invasion

HeadlineOct 13, 2025

The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting Friday at the request of Venezuela to discuss escalating U.S. military activity in the Caribbean. In recent weeks, the U.S. blew up four boats, claiming they were carrying drugs. Venezuela’s U.N. Ambassador Samuel Moncada warned the U.S. may be preparing to invade Venezuela.

Samuel Moncada: “The belligerent action and rhetoric of the U.S. government objectively point to the fact that we are facing a situation in which it is rational to anticipate that in the very short term an armed attack is to be perpetrated against Venezuela.”

In other news on Venezuela, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, has dedicated her prize to President Donald Trump for “his decisive support of our cause.”
