Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez warns of “serious threats of military aggression” from the United States, as tensions escalate in the Caribbean. In a high-level meeting with Russia, she thanked Moscow for its solidarity and accused Washington of pressuring countries to restrict Venezuela’s air access. Rodríguez highlighted the growing strategic partnership with Russia, emphasising expanded air connectivity, tourism and economic cooperation. With the US increasing its military presence in the region since September, critics warn of possible violations of international law. Caracas insists it will not be isolated and calls for respect for sovereignty.
