SAEDNEWS: Maduro: U.S. Launches Campaign to Discredit Venezuela Using False Information
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro accused the United States of spreading false information to discredit his country and justify potential actions against it. Speaking to Venezolana de Televisión, he stressed that Venezuela is a peaceful nation and recalled past CIA interventions in Latin America, such as the 1973 Chilean coup. Maduro highlighted the country’s military-policy unity as a guarantee of independence and said Latin America would follow its own path under the Bolivarian Alliance and revolution.
He criticized Washington’s drug trafficking allegations, noting the deployment of U.S. warships, a submarine, and over 16,000 troops to the Caribbean. Maduro also referred to reports that President Donald Trump halted diplomatic efforts with Venezuela and authorized CIA covert operations, though Trump denied plans for strikes on Venezuelan territory.
