Political leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean condemned the US military buildup in the hemisphere and issued a call to defend “sovereignty, security, and lasting peace” in the region.

The signatories sounded the alarm over the “imminent threat” of US military action inside Venezuelan territory.

“The Trump administration is escalating a dangerous military buildup off the coast of Venezuela, deploying naval forces in the Caribbean in preparation for a potential armed intervention,” read the communiqué published Thursday by the Progressive International.

The legislators and political leaders warned that the United States’ bombing campaign represents a direct threat to the region’s status as “Zone of Peace.”
