Chilean government spokesman and secretary of the Secretariat Camila Vallejo strongly condemned the military action carried out by the United States against Venezuela on January 5. She said that the United States publicly claims that it wants to seize and control Venezuela's natural resources, and even threatens to adopt similar practices against other countries, seriously threatening the security and stability of the Latin American region; it is unacceptable for the US to use its power superiority to do whatever it wants in Latin America and regard the region as its “backyard.”
