US Calls Venezuela Global Threat at UN as EU Approves Arms Embargo
The US chaired an informal meeting at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Monday to discuss the situation in Venezuela despite a boycott from leading members such as China and Russia.
“The crisis in Venezuela today poses a direct threat to international peace and security. Venezuela is an increasingly violent narco-state that threatens the region, the hemisphere, and the world,” Washington’s ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, declared during the session.
