Visakhapatnam: The18th Conference of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has strongly condemned the military aggression and bombardments carried out by the United States Government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The most recent incidents of explosions and aircraft activity over the civilian and military districts of the city of Caracas, capital of the Republic, and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira, were reported on Saturday. US President Trump has claimed that President
Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been captured by the US forces and flown out of the country. "Trump has announced that Maduro will be tried for his ‘crimes’ – a blatant expression of imperialist terrorist hegemonization," CITU stated in a resolution.
It said US President Donald Trump has openly referenced the importance of Venezuelan oil and past disputes over energy rights, signaling that control over these strategic resources is a central, if often unstated, driver of policy. This attack starts a new age of
US imperialist terrorism in the western Hemisphere. If Venezuela falls, next may be Cuba.
"The US Government’s use of military force represents a blatant violation of international law, the UN Charter, particularly its Articles 1 and 2, and the sovereign rights of the Venezuelan people," the resolution pointed out.
