Regarding the recent statements of the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, in which he calls for a coup in the country, the President announced that Venezuela will review diplomatic and political relations with the United States. “I have decided and given the order to Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza to initiate an absolute total revision of the relations with the government of the United States and to take decisions in the next few hours”, he said. Finally, he called on the Venezuelan people to mobilize in the streets to defend the sovereignty of the country and preserve peace and tranquility.
