JAKARTA - Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and Spain expressed concern over the United States' efforts to seize Venezuela's natural resources and strategic assets.
"We express concern over all attempts by states to control, manage, or external expropriation of natural or strategic resources, which are not in accordance with international law and threaten the political, economic, and social stability of the region," reads a joint statement issued by the six countries reported by ANTARA from Sputnik/RIA Novosti, Monday, January 5.
The six countries condemned the unilateral military action taken by the United States in the Venezuelan territory, as a very dangerous precedent for regional peace and security and threatening the safety of the civilian population.
The statement stressed that the situation in Venezuela must be resolved exclusively through peaceful means, through dialogue, negotiation, and respect for the will of the Venezuelan people in all its forms, without external interference and in accordance with international law.
US President Donald Trump on Saturday (3/1) said the US would lead Venezuela until a safe, proper, and wise transition.
On January 3, the United States launched a massive attack on Venezuela, arresting President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and bringing them to New York.
US President Donald Trump announced that Maduro and Flores would be tried for alleged involvement in narco-terrorism and considered a threat, including to the United States.
In response to the US operation, Caracas called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. The Supreme Court of Venezuela then appointed Vice President Delcy RodrÃguez as interim head of state.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people and called for the release of Maduro and his wife, as well as demanding the prevention of further escalation.
Similarly, China also called for the immediate release of the Maduro couple, stressing that the United States' actions violated international law.
