Venezuelan Defense Minister Lopez said on the 12th local time that Venezuela is resisting America's strategic attempt to block the Caribbean region. Lopez said at the 47th anniversary event of the establishment of the CPC General Air Defense Command on the same day that the US military is undergoing strategic redeployment and concentrating its forces on Latin America and the Caribbean with the intention of blocking the Caribbean region and seizing natural resources in the region. Venezuela is “resisting the evil and shameful acts of American imperialism.” Lopez said that the usual model of US imperialism is to make up lies and has used “false excuses” to invade Iraq, Libya, and Syria. Recently, rumors made up by the US about “gangs” and “drug traffickers” in Venezuela are extremely ridiculous. The Venezuelan military and civilian police are uniting to protest against the lies and manipulation of the US government.
