Russia, China Fault US Over Venezuela at UN Security Council

Russia and China on Tuesday sharply criticized the United States at the United Nations Security Council, accusing Washington of engaging in “cowboy behavior” and using military and economic pressure against Venezuela.

Responding to the allegations, US Ambassador Mike Waltz said the United States would “do everything in its power to protect our hemisphere, our borders, and the American people.”

The remarks were made during an emergency Security Council meeting requested by Venezuela and backed by Russia and China.
