Venezuela accused the United States on Thursday of escalating military tensions in the Caribbean by deploying warships and a nuclear-capable submarine in the region, calling the move a violation of Latin America’s nuclear-free zone treaty and the United Nations Charter. Speaking to reporters at the UN, Venezuelan Ambassador Samuel Moncada described Washington’s actions as “ridiculous, absurd and racist,” alleging that the United States had branded all Venezuelans over the age of 14 as “enemy aliens” in what he called a propaganda campaign to justify a coup d’état against President Nicolás Maduro. Moncada said Caracas would defend its sovereignty but urged the UN Secretary-General to act, warning that the presence of nuclear weapons in the Caribbean posed a “grave threat to hemispheric peace and international security.”
