Venezuela's authoritarian government sent a letter to the UN asking for its support over what it described as "continued threats" from the United States, which include the deployment of military assets off its coast.
Concretely, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil gave the letter to Gianluca Rampolla, UN official in the South American country. It claims that the country "strongly denounces the deployment, which is a grave threat to peace and security in the region."
