The U.S. Secretary of State has issued a stern warning to Venezuela during a visit to Guyana, emphasizing the potential repercussions of any aggressive actions against the oil-rich nation. In a press conference alongside Guyanese President Irfaan Ali in Georgetown, the Secretary underscored that the Venezuelan government would face serious consequences in the event of an assault on Guyana.
Highlighting the military capabilities of the United States, the Secretary stated that any attack on U.S. interests in Guyana, particularly those related to ExxonMobil, would lead to significant repercussions for Venezuela. He remarked that such actions would mark a disastrous turn of events for the Venezuelan leadership.
President Ali expressed his appreciation for the U.S. commitment to protecting Guyana's territorial integrity and sovereignty, describing Venezuela's claims over the disputed Essequibo region as unfounded and illegitimate. The two nations also signed an agreement aimed at enhancing security cooperation, building on prior arrangements for joint maritime patrols.
In response, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro reacted with indignation, labeling the U.S. Secretary as foolish and asserting that no one threatens Venezuela. Maduro had previously enacted legislation in 2024 that claimed the Essequibo region as a Venezuelan state and criticized the establishment of U.S. military bases in the area, which Guyana deemed a blatant violation of international law.
The territorial dispute over Essequibo has persisted for over a century, intensifying since ExxonMobil discovered significant oil reserves in the region in 2015. Currently, approximately 125,000 of Guyana's 800,000 residents live in Essequibo, an area that has become a focal point of contention between the two nations.
