Venezuela, Maduro to Trump: ‘Our peoples should unite for peace’

Turin, 14 November (LaPresse) – The people of the United States should join Venezuela in working for peace in the Americas. This was stated by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to a CNN correspondent during a rally in Caracas. These statements come at a time of growing tensions with the United States, which has deployed warships to the Caribbean to target what it claims are drug-trafficking vessels from Venezuela. Maduro urged the United States not to enter into another prolonged conflict, asking his people, in Spanish, “to unite for peace in the Americas. No more endless wars. No more unjust wars. No more Libya. No more Afghanistan.‘ When asked if he had a message for US President Donald Trump, Maduro replied in English, ’Yes, peace, peace.”
