The presence of three United States warships near Venezuela's territorial waters in the Caribbean has raised concerns among regional leaders and governments. Celso Amorim, Brazil's International Affairs Advisor, expressed worry over the U.S. naval deployment. The issue was a central topic during the XIII Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), where leaders including Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Bolivian President Luis Arce, and San Vicente and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves condemned the U.S. military presence and described it as a threat to regional sovereignty and peace. Maduro characterized Latin America and the Caribbean as historically contested territories between popular forces and U.S. imperial projects, denouncing what he called a frenzy of threats and interference. The ALBA-TCP countries approved a declaration condemning U.S. actions and reaffirmed support for Venezuela. International reactions included condemnation from Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Communist Party of Spain, both criticizing U.S. threats and interference. China expressed full support for Venezuela, rejecting U.S. military patrols near Venezuelan waters as violations of sovereignty and threats to regional peace. Brazilian military officials view the U.S. naval movements as pressure tactics, raising concerns about security, commerce, and humanitarian impacts. Venezuelan President Maduro also announced plans to activate Binational Zone No. 1 to promote closer ties between Venezuela and Colombia. The situation has intensified tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, with regional and international actors calling for respect for sovereignty and peaceful resolution.
