Casa de las Américas denounced the resurgence of US interventionist policy in Latin America and the Caribbean, aggravated by the deployment of ships, submarines and military personnel under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.
In a statement issued October 7, the Havana-based cultural institution warned of a possible US military escalation against Venezuela following the intensification of confrontational rhetoric toward its government.
The recent naval maneuvers and diplomatic pressure actions respond to a strategy aimed at preparing for a conflict scenario, the text states, recalling that Washington has historically used the official justification of fighting drug trafficking to establish military bases, carry out covert operations and launch destabilization campaigns across Latin America.
The statement emphasizes that the real objective of these actions is to neutralize the Bolivarian Revolution, control Venezuela’s strategic resources and reaffirm US influence on the continent. In this regard, Casa de las Américas warns of a growing trend toward militarization and the pursuit of dominance that puts regional stability at risk.

The danger of a military incursion into Venezuelan territory has intensified, the publication notes, amid allegations by the Caracas government of a false flag operation involving a potential attack on the US Embassy in Venezuela.
Behind closed doors, the US government is experiencing an internal crisis characterized by the erosion of its democratic institutions, the persecution of migrants and the deployment of armed agents in its own cities—a situation that, according to Casa de las Américas, is reflected in a foreign policy marked by unilateral decisions and rhetoric that promotes confrontation rather than dialogue.
The text reaffirms Cuba’s solidarity with the people and government of Nicolás Maduro and calls on the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to preserve the region as a zone of peace. The sociocultural institution urges the defense of Venezuelan sovereignty as part of a common cause for the peoples of the continent who aspire to maintain their independence in the face of external pressures.
Casa de las Américas maintains that defending the integrity and dignity of Venezuela is a collective commitment of the region against any attempt at aggression or domination.
