Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic Leader of the US House, expressed his great dismay at attempts by the Nicolas Maduro government to violate Guyana’s sovereignty.
In a recent statement, the New York Congressman remarked: “The aggressive action undertaken by the Maduro regime to infringe on Guyanese sovereignty is deeply disturbing. I stand with the Biden administration in calling on Venezuela to respect the territorial integrity of Guyana. Peace and stability in South America and the Western Hemisphere are critical to America’s national security. Accordingly, the rule of law must be maintained in the region. Lawlessness and authoritarian aggression should never be tolerated”.
