When Caribbean and Latin American leaders gather in Cancun, Mexico later this month for the next General Assembly of the Organization of American States and discuss the situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, they will have been heavily lobbied by the anti-Venezuela lobby at the OAS.

Venezuela Opposition Leader Tries to Foment Military Uprising
Led by the U.S. and Canada, a powerful and influential minority of member-states has been trying to get an unwilling majority to back Washington’s plans for external intervention in the internal affairs of Venezuela since March 2017, the oil-rich but economically poor South American nation that is also a Caribbean state.
To date, Washington thinks it has won over the main four member-states of the 14 English-speaking Caribbean Community nations that are also members of the OAS: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.
Washington is strongly hoping that this can influence the other smaller 11 CARICOM nations — all of which, except Suriname and Belize, are small island nations — to change their minds and support the powerful minority’s plot to get OAS support for intervention in Venezuela.
