Hundreds of motorcycle riders took to the streets of Caracas to protest US ‘piracy’ against Venezuelan oil shipments. The rally comes after the US Navy intercepted two oil tankers carrying Venezuelan crude as part of an ongoing naval blockade of the Latin American country.
Participants at the biker rally said they were protesting US President Donald Trump’s attempts to seize Venezuela’s natural resources, oil in particular, while condemning the tanker seizures as illegal.
“We came out to repudiate that biggest pirate of the Caribbean, that fascist, that oil thief Donald Trump, who with his foolish speech has tried to seize the oil and sovereignty of Venezuela,” a protesters told state broadcaster teleSUR.
“We are pacifists. We want peace, but we are prepared for war,” another demonstrator said.
