Venezuela marked 80 years since the end of World War II with the inauguration of a monument honouring China, as President Nicolás Maduro praised his country’s resilience against U.S. pressure. The ceremony came amid news of a deadly U.S. military strike on a vessel in the Caribbean, which Washington claimed was carrying members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang. The incident signals a dramatic escalation in America’s fight against drug trafficking in the region, while Caracas condemned the action as further proof of foreign hostility.#Venezuela #Maduro #USStrike #ChinaVenezuela #DrugTrafficking #TrendeAragua #CaribbeanCrisis #WorldWarII #Geopolitics #USVsVenezuela
