Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez claimed that the United States is a central country in illegal drug trafficking and that approximately 85% of the profits generated from this trade remain in the U.S.

In a press conference at the state television VTV, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez targeted the United States, which accuses Venezuela of drug trafficking. Rodriguez claimed that the U.S. is a central country in the illegal drug trade and that approximately 85% of the profits remain in the U.S., stating, "The U.S. must solve this problem within itself; it would be much easier than sending ships here."

"THEY AIM TO ATTACK AND CHANGE THE REGIME"

Rodriguez also criticized the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, noting: "There is a lot of hypocrisy and political instrumentalization regarding this issue. The aim is to attack and target regime change. This step is madness and a dangerous show. The main route for cocaine is the Pacific. 87% of the total cocaine produced in Colombia comes out from here. If the U.S. really wanted to stop cocaine, their ships should be there. They are misusing GPS locations; they should change their routes and go to the Pacific, otherwise, cocaine will reach the U.S."

"THEY WANT TO SEIZE OUR COUNTRY'S NATURAL RESOURCES"

Rodriguez emphasized that the U.S. accusation of Venezuela being involved in drug trafficking is entirely a deception, stating, "Their aim is to seize the country's natural resources such as oil, gas, and gold."

ACTIVITY IN THE CARIBBEAN

U.S. President Donald Trump had previously signed a decree ordering the military to be used more extensively and effectively in the fight against Latin American drug cartels. In this context, the U.S. sent warships USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson to the coasts of Venezuela at the end of August.

In response, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced that he had mobilized 4.5 million militia forces in the country and was ready to "repel any attack." U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the U.S. military is prepared for a regime change operation in Venezuela.
