The government of Trinidad and Tobago has once again announced irresponsible exercises, lending its waters off the coast of Sucre state for military exercises that are intended to be threatening to a republic like Venezuela, which does not allow itself to be threatened by anyone.
The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, this Saturday called on six eastern regions of the country to "a vigil and a permanent march in the streets" in response to the announced resumption of military exercises by the United States in Trinidad and Tobago, amid growing tensions between Caracas and Washington.
At an event in the Venezuelan capital, the head of state called on "all popular, social, political, military and police forces" to "not fall into provocations at any time, but to mobilize with patriotic fervor" to reject "the imperialist ships" and "military threats", as well as what he called "irresponsible exercises" in Trinidadian waters.
Specifically, Maduro called on the states of Bolívar (bordering Brazil), Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Anzoátegui, the insular Nueva Esparta, and Sucre, close to the island of Trinidad, to mobilize "in perfect popular-military-police fusion" and "with the Venezuelan flag held high."
"The government of the United States intends to bomb and invade a Christian people, our people, what is that? (...) The people of Trinidad and Tobago will see if they continue to tolerate that their waters and lands are used to seriously threaten the peace of the Caribbean," the head of state added, who presided over an oath-taking ceremony for the so-called Integral Basic Bolivarian Committees (CBBI), which are work teams of chavism located in the streets of the country.
As confirmed on Friday by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago, Sean Sobers, the U.S. Navy (...) do you want to come and kill a Christian people here in South America? will return to the Caribbean territory, which is about 11 kilometers from the Venezuelan coast, to continue their military exercises with the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF).
Sobers' announcement comes after the Trinidadian Attorney General, John Jeremie, announced this Thursday that the military of the 22nd Expeditionary Marine Enhanced Unit will intensify their practices in that country from this Sunday until next Friday, November 21.
Venezuela has now been in permanent military mobilization throughout its territory for three months in response to what it denounces as a "threat" from the U.S., referring to the naval and air deployment that Washington has maintained in the Caribbean since August near the South American nation.
Chavism denounced this Saturday that the U.S. seeks to "trigger violent actions and sow a conflict" in the Caribbean with the military operation 'Southern Lance', announced on Thursday by Washington, under the pretext of combating the drug trade coming from Latin America, which appears to increase the pressure of the Donald Trump administration on Venezuela and Colombia.
