Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva cautioned that any armed intervention in Venezuela would lead to a “humanitarian catastrophe” in the region and establish a perilous precedent globally. Speaking at the 67th Summit of Heads of State of Mercosur and Associated States, Lula highlighted US threats and actions towards Venezuela, such as a naval blockade and military pressure on the Caribbean nation, as reported by Xinhua news agency. He expressed concern over the military presence of a non-regional power in Latin America, emphasizing the importance of fostering a prosperous and peaceful South America. Lula stressed that resorting to negotiation rather than military conflict is a more effective and economical approach, citing a recent conversation with US President Donald Trump. The Trump administration’s measures, including blocking oil tankers to and from Venezuela and labeling President Nicolas Maduro’s government as a “foreign terrorist organization,” have drawn criticism from various Latin American countries and regional bodies. Calls for dialogue and international intervention have been made by these nations and organizations to address the situation.
