The Venezuelan leader’s reaction to the US

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, reacted to the extension of the US decree that declares Venezuela a national threat.

Speaking on state television, Maduro said they strongly rejected the signing of the decree, which sees Venezuela as a national threat to the United States. Stating that they have overcome economic sanctions as a country, Maduro said: “The Joe Biden government has signed for the eighth time the decree declaring Venezuela an extraordinary and extraordinary threat to the national security of the United States.”

Recalling that the decree was first signed by former US President Barack Obama, Maduro said: “Eight years have passed since that infamous decree. With the working class united, Venezuela advances, breaking the sanctions and the blockade, facing and defeating imperialism, all its decrees”, he said.

On the other hand, Maduro recalled the tenth anniversary of the death of Hugo Chávez, former president of Venezuela, who passed away on March 5, 2013, and said: “10 years later I can say that our beloved Commander Chávez has not missed a moment in our struggles and wars.” (BRITISH AUTOMOBILE CLUB)
