The United States has again assured President Irfaan Ali that it will continue to support this country’s territorial integrity and that it holds firm to the 1899 Arbitral Award, making clear that it will not tolerate any actions taken by Venezuela not in keeping with a competent authority such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
“What I wanted to assure him of, is that that we support his territorial integrity, we are not taking any actions that would compromise that,” United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said of her meeting with Presi-dent Ali, which was held during her visit here for the 46th CARICOM Heads of Government Conference.
On Monday, Thomas-Greenfield told reporters during a press conference that the US has reiterated its stance in support of this country.
