00:00In this context, Venezuela accused the United States government of resorting to nuclear intimidation in the Caribbean region.
00:07In an official communique, Venezuela's permanent mission to the United Nations said its government was obliged to inform about the escalation of hostile actions and threats from the government of the United States of America,
00:19which now include the deployment of additional warships to the Caribbean, including the USS Lake Erie, a guided missile cruiser, and the USS Newport News, a fast-attack nuclear submarine which is expected to arrive on Venezuelan coasts at the beginning of next week, as confirmed by various international sources.
00:40The Venezuelan government also denounced with the greatest firmness this deployment, as it constitutes a serious threat to regional peace and security.
00:50It also stressed that the presence of nuclear submarines of an offensive nature in the Latin American and Caribbean region contradicts the historical commitment of our nations and peoples to avoid the use of weapons and to the peaceful solution of disputes,
01:05and it represents a clear act of intimidation contrary to the letter and spirit of the Charter of the United Nations.
01:12The Bolivarian nation also reminded that Latin America and the Caribbean have been declared a nuclear weapon-free zone through the Treaty of Tratelolco,
01:22whose protocol was ratified by the United States in 1971, thus committing itself to fully respect the nuclear weapon-free character of the region.
