Rubio issues stark warning to Caracas
‘It will be a very bad day if Venezuela attacked Guyana or ExxonMobil’
In the starkest warning yet to Venezuela, the United States yesterday said that were Caracas to attack Guyana or ExxonMobil infrastructure in the Atlantic Ocean, the end result would be dire.
“It would be a very bad day for the Venezuelan regime if they were to attack Guyana or attack ExxonMobil or anything like it… it would be a very bad day, a very bad week for them, and it would not end well for them,” visiting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio yesterday told a joint press conference held with President Irfaan Ali at State House.
The Secretary of State was asked by Stabroek News if the US would stand by Guyana militarily if it was attacked by Venezuela and what would be their response if ExxonMobil came under assault during operations in this country’s waters.
