Venezuela at the UN condemns latest US strike in Caribbean as people in Trinidad mourn
- On Thursday, Venezuela's U.N. ambassador Samuel Moncada condemned a recent U.S. strike on a small boat in Caribbean waters that killed six people, including two fishermen from Trinidad and Tobago.
- Amid a declared war on drug cartels, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a large military buildup in the southern Caribbean and began building maritime forces earlier this year.
- In Las Cuevas, Trinidad, Chad Joseph boarded a boat on Tuesday and remains missing; his family demands U.S. proof that those killed were drug traffickers, while another man, Samaroo, is also reported missing.
- Moncada urged the U.N. Security Council to investigate five lethal attacks and 27 reported deaths since September, but the U.S. holds veto power, limiting action, while officials defend the strikes under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter.
- Earlier this year, the U.S. shifted defense priorities to the Caribbean, with Puerto Rico providing key infrastructure, while Nicolás Maduro accuses Washington of seeking regime change and the strikes heighten regional tensions.
