A United Venezuela Rejects Mr. Trump’s Grotesque Threat and Will Denounce It

BOLIVARIAN GOVERNMENT OF VENEZUELA

COMMUNIQUÉ

On the night of today, December 16, 2025, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in violation of International Law, free trade, and freedom of navigation, has issued a reckless and serious threat against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Through his social media, he assumes that Venezuela’s oil, lands, and mineral wealth are his property. Consequently, Venezuela must immediately hand over all its wealth to him. The President of the United States intends to impose, in an absolutely irrational manner, an alleged naval military blockade against Venezuela with the objective of stealing the riches that belong to our Homeland.

Venezuela, in the full exercise of the International Law that protects us, of our Constitution and the laws of the Republic, reaffirms its sovereignty over all its natural resources, as well as the right to free navigation and free trade in the Caribbean Sea and in the oceans of the world. Consequently, it will proceed, in strict adherence to the UN Charter, to fully exercise its freedom, jurisdiction, and sovereignty above these war-mongering threats.

Our Ambassador to the United Nations will immediately proceed to denounce this grave violation of International Law against Venezuela.

We call upon the people of the United States and the peoples of the world to reject by all means this extravagant threat, which once again reveals Donald Trump’s true intentions to steal the riches of the country that gave birth to the United Liberating Army of South America and to our Liberator, Simón Bolívar. The people of Venezuela, in perfect popular, military, and police unity, will know how to defend their historical rights and prevail along the path of Peace.

Mr. Donald Trump, verbatim, brandishes the following interventionist and colonialist expression: “until they return to the U.S. all the oil, land, and other assets they previously stole from us.” His true intention, which has been denounced by Venezuela and by the people of the United States in massive demonstrations, has always been to appropriate the country’s oil, land, and minerals through gigantic campaigns of lies and manipulation.

Venezuela will never again be a colony of any empire or foreign power and will continue, together with its people, along the path of building prosperity and the unrestricted defense of our independence and sovereignty.

The Venezuelan people, in perfect popular, military, and police unity, remain firm in the unrestricted safeguarding of their territory, their wealth, and their freedom. With our Father Liberator we say: “fortunately, it has been seen that a handful of free men can defeat powerful empires.”

Caracas,
