In a letter to Trump dated Monday, Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón said Maduro’s plea for Latin American troops to invade Puerto Rico “is an open threat to the United States, our national security and stability in the region.”.
González-Colón’s letter was in response to a Maduro speech on Sunday in Caracas, closing the “Global International Antifascist Festival.”.
“As in the north they have an agenda of colonization, we have an agenda of liberation, and that agenda was written for us by Simón Bolívar,” said Maduro.
“The liberty of Puerto Rico is pending, and we will achieve it with Brazilian troops,” added the Venezuelan, who last Friday took his third oath of office despite widespread claims that he rigged the July presidential election results.
But Maduro has so far been the only world leader to spin the saber-rattling trend into territorial threats against the United States.
“… in less than a week, a new foreign policy will begin where freedom and U.S. national security interests are paramount.
If the dictator in Venezuela does not want to end up like other dictators Mussolini and Gaddafi, he should leave Venezuela without delay. »
