Samuel Moncada

Samuel Moncada is Venezuela's ambassador to the United Nations. He is currently newsworthy due to the escalating tensions between Venezuela and the United States, particularly following the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US special forces. Moncada has been actively using his position at the UN Security Council to denounce what he describes as US aggression, including military strikes and a naval blockade. He argues that the US actions are not solely focused on Venezuela but represent a broader ambition to exert control over Latin America. His statements and actions are significant as they represent Venezuela's official response to the crisis and an attempt to rally international support against the US.
