On his social media account, the minister denounced that this latest hostile act against the South American country’s oil corporation was aimed at paralyzing the operations of this important Venezuelan institution.
According to the head of Cuban diplomacy, “these actions are part of the psychological warfare and increased pressure by the United States government to overthrow the Venezuelan government,” headed by President Nicolas Maduro.
The Cuban government categorically rejected “this despicable action, orchestrated by foreign interests in collusion with stateless actors seeking to undermine the country’s right to sovereign energy development,” according to a statement from the institution.
Washington has deployed military forces and resources in the Caribbean Sea, monitoring the coasts of the South American country, whose cargo was seized on the high seas from one of its oil tankers.
The whereabouts of the crew remain unknown.
