“It’s been 14 weeks of threats from the gringos, with 15 ships, 2,600 missiles, 100 aircraft, and the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the Gerald Ford,” he said, recounting the details of the U.S. military deployment ordered by President Donald Trump.

“Let the gringos do whatever they want. We remain unshakable, and no one will divert us from the path of producing and building true, direct democracy and our sacred and everlasting peace,” Maduro added, and mentioned that Venezuela’s Comprehensive Defense System is prepared to confront foreign attacks and threats aimed at disturbing the nation’s peace.

“We have an original military model, a Venezuelan concept of Comprehensive Defense, and a National Comprehensive Defense System, which we’ve been testing over the past weeks,” he said.

President Maduro also reaffirmed the strength of the political, economic, social, and military model established by the Bolivarian Revolution, following the legacy of Commander Hugo Chavez. He also emphasized that his administration continues to achieve its goals of improving collective well-being.

“Despite all the aggressions from the U.S. empire, Venezuela will keep working to move forward toward the comprehensive development of all sectors of the population,” Maduro said, rejecting what he described as the elitist attitude of U.S. leaders toward Latin American peoples.

“They think they’re superior to us—Colombians, Mexicans, Brazilians, Venezuelans, and all Latin Americans and Caribbeans,” he said, highlighting the cultural roots of U.S. threats to peace in Latin America.

“Imperialism believes life is a bad, Rambo-style Hollywood movie where they, the supremacists, always win, and we’re always the villains. They portray themselves as the good guys despite everything they do—bombing, killing, and despising others. And we, the Latinos, are supposed to be the bad ones. Let them live in their bad movie! We’ll keep being reborn here like a miracle,” Maduro stated.
