BRITAIN must break with the far-right warmongering Donald Trump regime, MPs and peace campaigners warned at the weekend’s Adelante! Latin America conference.

The US president’s kidnapping of his Venezuelan counterpart in a devastating raid that left over 100 people dead was a threat to the whole international legal system, Labour MP Richard Burgon warned.

Yet British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer could not even bring himself to say whether it breached international law — “and I thought he was supposed to be a human rights lawyer!”

Mr Burgon said the US assault on Venezuela and bid to suffocate Cuba were opening steps in a campaign to reassert US control over the whole of Latin America, outlined in detail in the White House’s recently published National Security Strategy.

If unchecked it would lead to a new wave of US-backed dictatorships, disappearances and dirty wars across the continent.

“I say directly to governments across Europe — including our own — who gave Trump a green light with their weak and pathetic statements: You must stand up to Trump. Oppose the gangster politics — because Trump will not stop until that happens.

“You don’t even have to get around the lies any more that the US told when it attacked countries in the past, pretending it was about human rights. Trump is clear — when he talks about Venezuela, he wants their oil. When he talks about Cuba, he wants regime change.”

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Britain should call a halt to decades of subservience to Washington and offer a helping hand to victims of US aggression. “The government should tell Trump he’s wrong and send oil to Cuba.”

Cuban ambassador to Britain Ismara Vargas Walter told the conference that Mr Trump had declared “total war on our existence” by cutting off energy supplies, but vowed Cuba would not surrender.

“They are trying to stop the supply of fuel that lights our operating theatres, that warms our neonatal incubators, that pumps water to our homes.

“They want to turn off the lights in Havana, Villa Clara, Santiago. And when the darkness falls and the food spoils, they will blame the Cuban Revolution.

“They want to break our spirit through exhaustion; they want Cuba to kneel. It seems that they don’t know us. Sovereignty is not negotiable,” she said.
