The opposition coalition in Venezuela on Sunday rejected “the military threat by any foreign power,” two days after US President Donald Trump said he was considering such an option against the crisis-hit South American nation.

The coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable, did not mention Trump’s name, but its message was clear.

It said in a statement it rejects “the use of force, or the threat of applying such force, by whatever country against Venezuela.”

Trump’s comment on Friday that his administration was mulling many options, “including a possible military option if necessary,” to fix the “dangerous mess” in Venezuela outraged Caracas, which called it “reckless” and “madness.”
