He added that Venezuela has the right to independently develop mutually beneficial cooperation with other nations. The presidency of the UN Security Council, currently held by Slovenia, confirmed Venezuela's request for the meeting and is consulting with other Council members. Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump threatened Venezuela with an unprecedented shock, demanding that Caracas return what he described as "stolen" US oil, land, and other assets. These statements were made alongside promises to soon commence strikes against drug traffickers on land as part of Washington's broader anti-narcotics campaign in the region. Venezuelan Permanent Representative to the UN Samuel Moncada has likened current US policy to the actions of aggressors during World War II, accusing the Trump administration of destabilizing international relations.
