Venezuela 🇻🇪: @ituc and @CSA_TUCA strongly condemn the US military aggression against Venezuela and the violation of its sovereignty.
We call for respect for the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination, the immediate release of all those detained, and a return to peaceful and democratic dialogue.
Peace and international law must prevail.
