00:00Good afternoon.
00:01Good afternoon.
00:02Marcel Thomas from the Starbucks News.
00:05You just spoke of consequences for aggressive actions
00:08and that the U.S. is Dayana's partner.
00:11Even Venezuelans can provoke aggression towards Dayana.
00:15I want to know if your country would stand by Dayana militarily
00:21if Venezuelans were to attack this country
00:24and what would be the U.S.'s response
00:27should Venezuela attack U.S.-owned exxonMobil,
00:32which is operating in the Amazonas?
00:34It would be a very bad day for the Venezuelan regime
00:36if they were to attack Dayana or attack exxonMobil or anything like that.
00:40It would be a very bad day or a very bad week for them,
00:42and it would not end well for them.
00:44I'm not going to get into details of what we'll do.
00:48We're not big on those kinds of threats.
00:50I think everybody understands, and I want it to be clear.
00:52We've made this clear repeatedly.
00:53I think the U.S. Navy today is making it clear
00:56and demonstrating our ability to
00:58We have a big navy, and it can get anywhere in the world.
01:04We have commitments that exist today with Dayana.
01:07We want to build on those, expand on those,
01:09and we'll leave it for the appropriate time.
01:11But suffice it to say that if that regime were to do something such as that,
01:18it would be a very bad move.
01:21It would be a big mistake for them.
