Venezuela’s ambassador to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, has sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments describing Venezuelan territory and oil resources as effectively belonging to the United States. Speaking at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly on the International Day for the Elimination of Colonialism, Moncada called the remarks a severe breach of international law and the UN Charter. Moncada accused Washington of reviving 19th-century imperialist attitudes and undermining the principles of state sovereignty. He described the U.S. stance as a “crime against civilized conduct” and urged respect for the UN Charter. The Venezuelan diplomat further argued that the Trump administration’s policies were fostering global instability and transforming modern forms of control into acts of aggression. Expressing solidarity with Palestine and Puerto Rico, Moncada said foreign domination contradicts the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. His statement underscores growing tensions between Caracas and Washington, as Venezuela continues to resist external pressure and defend its sovereignty on the global stage.
