US issues warning to Venezuela over incursion into Guyana’s waters

The United States today issued a warning to Venezuela over its incursion into Guyana’s waters this morning and threats to the operations of ExxonMobil  here.

Its Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs issued the following statement on X (formerly Twitter). 
 
“Venezuelan naval vessels threatening ExxonMobil’s floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit is unacceptable and a clear violation of Guyana’s internationally-recognized maritime territory. Further provocation will result in consequences for the Maduro regime. The United States reaffirms its support for Guyana’s territorial integrity and the 1899 arbitral award”.
