Mexican leader warns of conflict as US president targets sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela
What action is Trump taking against Venezuela’s oil industry?
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has urged the United Nations to “prevent any bloodshed” in Venezuela, as Donald Trump piled more pressure on the South American country.
“The United Nations has been conspicuously absent. It must assume its role to prevent any bloodshed and to always seek the peaceful resolution of conflicts,” the leftwing president told reporters the morning after Washington announced a blockade of “sanctioned oil tankers” entering or leaving Venezuela.
The United States has for months been building a major military deployment in the Caribbean with the stated goal of combatting Latin American drug trafficking.
