From Fox News: Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, made a statement on Facebook Sunday night issuing a public appeal for peace and cooperation with the U.S.
Rodriguez called for dialog not instead of conflict as tensions between Washington and Caracas remain high.
Rodriguez also emphasized Venezuela’s desire for sovereignty and non-interference. She is framing the country’s diplomatic position as what she dubbed “sovereign equality” and international law.
Rodriguez says Venezuela “reaffirms its commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence,” and that she expects “balanced and respectful international relations” with the U.S.
“Our country aspires to live without external threats, in an environment of respect and international cooperation,” Rodríguez wrote. “We invite the U.S. government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development,” she said.
“President Donald Trump, our peoples and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war,” Rodríguez wrote, adding that her message reflects the will of “all of Venezuela right now.”
“Venezuela has the right to peace, development, sovereignty and a future,” she wrote.
President Donald J. Trump had warned on Sunday that if Rodriguez fails to cooperate on reform, she will likely suffer a worse fate than captured President Nicolas Maduro.
“If she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro,” Trump told The Atlantic.
