Interfaith leaders, community leaders, and elected officials gathered in New York to demand that the U.S. government find a diplomatic solution in Venezuela, amid growing threats by the Donald Trump administration to carry out a military intervention in the South American nation. The vigil aligned with urgent calls from the Vatican and the World Council of Churches. Organizers denounced reports of U.S. military attacks that killed more than 80 people, alongside the deployment in the Caribbean, describing these operations as extrajudicial executions and violations of international law. They emphasized the need for diplomacy to prevent further loss of innocent lives if the administration engages in a war not authorized by Congress. <br /><br />#teleSUREnglish #UnitedStates #NewYork #Venezuela #Peace #Dialogue #Diplomacy<br />
