Over the last 24 hours, Donald Trump has escalated his war drive against Venezuela to extremely alarming levels.
After seizing control of an oil tanker bound for Cuba, last night Trump announced a full naval blockade of Venezuelan oil tankers and demanded large swathes of Venezuela’s ‘oil, land and other assets’ be given over to the United States, or Venezuelans will face “a shock like nothing they have ever seen.”
At this crucial moment, it is vital that everyone who values peace and sovereignty speaks out against this vicious and illegal war drive.
Here are 5 ways you can stand with Venezuela against Trump’s war drive:
- Share the ‘No to Trump’s war on Venezuela’ statement now signed by figures including Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack), over 40 parliamentarians, nine trade union general secretaries and over 2,000 individuals. It’s crucial we get the word out about the level of opposition to this war.
- Email your MP calling on them to sign the Early Day Motion in Parliament opposing Trump’s war on Venezuela and the US military build-up in the Caribbean.
