Russia and China have backed Venezuela's request for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to address what Caracas called a "grave escalation of U.S. military aggression" in the Caribbean, diplomatic sources told AFP. The meeting is scheduled for Friday.
In a letter to the Council, Venezuela's ambassador to the U.N., Samuel Moncada, accused the Trump administration of carrying out "deadly military operations in international waters" that have killed at least 21 people in recent weeks.
