The 25th Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (BAA) summit of heads of state and government was held online on the 14th. The summit issued a statement strongly condemning the recent National Security Strategy released by the US government, arguing that the document aims to reaffirm and promote the outdated Monroe Doctrine. The statement called for an immediate cessation of any military threats against BAA member states and condemned the US attack and illegal seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean, calling it an act of piracy, a blatant violation of international law, and a serious infringement on Venezuela's national sovereignty. The statement also emphasized opposition to any form of hegemonism and foreign interference. Furthermore, the statement demanded that the US immediately remove Cuba from its so-called "list of state sponsors of terrorism." (CCTV News)
