Venezuela has accused neighboring Trinidad and Tobago of causing an oil spill that threatens both the environment and the economy, escalating tensions between the two countries.
In a statement, Caracas warned of significant ecological harm and potential economic losses as a result of the spill, which it claims originated from Trinidad and Tobago's waters. The Venezuelan government demanded accountability and action to mitigate the damage.
The dispute adds to existing strains in bilateral relations, with Venezuela calling for urgent measures to prevent further environmental degradation.
