Venezuela’s defense minister has denounced US President Donald Trump’s “crazy” threat of military action amid escalating bilateral tensions over what Caracas views as Washington’s meddling in the Latin American country’s political crisis.
“This is an act of craziness, an act of supreme extremism,” General Vladimir Padrino said in an interview with the state television on Friday.
The defense minister was responding to remarks earlier in the day by Trump, who said he was considering “many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option if necessary” in the face of the ongoing political and economic crisis gripping the South American state.
“As a soldier, together with the FANB (Venezuela’s armed forces) and together with the people, I am certain that we will all be in the first ranks defending the interests and sovereignty of our beloved Venezuela,” said the defense chief.
“There is an extremist elite governing the United States and honestly I don’t know what’s happening, what is going to happen in the world,” Padrino added.
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s Communications Minister Ernesto Villegas described Trump’s threat as “an unprecedented threat to national sovereignty.”
He said the Foreign Ministry is set to “release a communiqué addressing the imperial threat to Venezuela.”
Trump’s threat came after his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolas Maduro, said he seeks to meet US President Donald Trump for a “personal conversation.”
The White House also said Maduro requested on Friday a phone call with the US president, whose administration has slapped sanctions on Maduro himself and some of his allies.
It said Trump would agree to hold talks with Venezuela’s leader “as soon as democracy is restored in that country.”
The oil-rich but impoverished country has been convulsed by months-long deadly protests against the government in Carcass.
The political tensions there have seen a rise after Venezuelan people said ‘Yes’ in an election last week to the formation of a national assembly tasked with dissolving the opposition-led congress and rewrite the constitution. The vote was boycotted by the opposition.
Maduro says the Constituent Assembly could serve to restore calm to the country and prevent a foreign-backed “coup d’etat” by the opposition. Opponents however, see the body as a tool in the president’s hands to grab more powers.
Siding with the opposition, Washington blames Maduro for the violence and has urged regional and international governments to take strong action against his government. Maduro, however, says the US and its allies in the region are inciting the violence to bring down his government.
The United States imposed sanctions against 13 current and former Venezuelan officials after doing the same to the country’s vice president in February. The US Treasury Department later froze Maduro’s US assets and called him a “dictator” for pushing ahead with the election.
