Brazil: US armed intervention in Venezuela will be a humanitarian disaster
The president of Brazil warned that any military intervention in the country could have disastrous humanitarian consequences in response to the escalation of American pressure against Venezuela.
According to RCO News Agency, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Saturday that “armed intervention in Venezuela would be a humanitarian disaster”; The comments came as the United States escalated its actions against regional neighbor Venezuela.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump ordered a “blockade” of all sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela. This decision is the latest step by Washington to increase pressure on the government of Nicolás Maduro and target its main source of income.
Lula and Mexican President Claudia Schinbaum, leaders of Latin America’s two largest economies, had previously called for restraint as tensions rose.
But Lula took a tougher stance on Saturday during a meeting of the Mercosur bloc in the southern Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu, warning that such a move would set a “dangerous precedent for the world.”
He added that after more than four decades of the Falkland Islands war between Argentina and Britain, “the South American continent is once again affected by the military presence of a power outside the region.”
