The Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs has issued a strict advisory urging Swedish citizens to avoid all travel to Venezuela and for those currently in the country to leave promptly, citing a worsening security situation and the risk of armed escalation.Ongoing tensions between
Venezuela and the
USA, including recent attacks by the
USA on vessels labeled as "drug boats," have led President
Nicolás Maduro to condemn the actions and dispute US claims about the victims, which contributed to
Sweden strengthening its travel warning.
