Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence. Our country aspires to live without external threats, in an environment of respect and international cooperation. We believe that global peace is built by first guaranteeing peace within each nation.

We prioritise moving towards balanced and respectful international relations between the United States and Venezuela, and between Venezuela and other countries in the region, premised on sovereign equality and non-interference.

We invite the U.S. government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development within the framework of international law to strengthen lasting community coexistence.

President Donald Trump, our people and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war.

This has always been President Nicolás Maduro’s message, and it is the message of all of Venezuela right now.

This is the Venezuela I believe in and have dedicated my life to. I dream of a Venezuela where all good Venezuelans can come together.

Venezuela has the right to peace, development, sovereignty, and a future.

Trump: You know I wrote about Bin Laden one year before the attack on the World Trade Center. I said you have to go after Bin Laden — it was in my book.

If they would’ve listened to me, they wouldn’t have the World Trade Center tragedy. I predicted Bin Laden. Did you know that?

Senator Graham: I learn something everyday.

If he wants to throw me in jail, let's see if he can.

If he wants to put me in the orange jumpsuit, let him try. But this nation doesn't kneel before him.

His past hatreds, which I don't know about, and no Colombian is to blame for what happened to his grandfather or his father in Cuba.

Türkiye’s receipt of the F-35 aircraft for which it has already paid, and its reintegration into the program, are important and necessary for better ties with the US and NATO’s defense.

Our expulsion was unjust.

With Trump’s return to office, an opportunity has emerged to move Türkiye–US relations onto a more reasonable and constructive footing.

Türkiye stands as the sole actor able to speak directly with both Mr. Putin and Zelensky.

Our door remains open to all. I have conveyed this resolve clearly and on numerous occasions to both.

We are in the position of a key country for such a mission due to our deep historical ties with the Palestinian side, the security and diplomacy channels we have conducted with Israel in the past, and our regional influence as a NATO member country.

Our political will is clear; we stand ready to take on any responsibility for a lasting peace in Gaza.

For decades, our foreign policy has been trapped in a counterproductive and endless cycle of regime change or nation building.

Toppling regimes, trying to impose our system of governance on others, intervening in conflicts that were barely understood, and walking away with more enemies than allies...

The results: trillions spent, countless lives lost, and in many cases, a creation of greater security threats, the rise of Islamist terrorist groups like ISIS.

President Trump was elected by the American people to put an end to this, and from day one, he has showed a very different way to conduct foreign policy.

The U.S. is the first country in the world to bomb a South American capital in all of human history.

Not even Netanyahu, Hitler, Franco, or Salazar did it.

What a terrible badge of honor, because South Americans will not forget it for generations. The wound will remain open for a long time.

The first South American capital to be bombed, like Hitler's bombing of Guernica, cannot be forgotten.

Friends don't bomb.

Every soldier in Colombia now has a standing order: any commander of the public forces who prefers the flag of the United States over the flag of Colombia will be immediately removed from the institution by order of the rank and file, and by mine.

If you arrest the president, whom a large part of my people love and respect, you will unleash the people's jaguar.

Although I have not been a soldier, I know about war and clandestine operations.

I swore never to touch another weapon after the 1989 Peace Agreement, but for the sake of my country, I will take up arms again, weapons I no longer want.
