Likewise, the Foreign Minister stressed the bonds of friendship that exist between the Venezuelan and American people and denounced the use of permanent and illegal mechanisms of aggression to justify the exit of the legitimate and constitutional government of Venezuela, with the only purpose of taking control of the natural riches of the country. “The Venezuelan people are friends with the American people. The Decree that they renew today is only a pretext to justify an unprecedented aggression, which includes the threat of the use of force, in order to force a regime change to control the country’s riches”, said the People’s Power Minister for Foreign Relations.La Administración de @realDonaldTrump ratifica y renueva el error histórico cometido por el gobierno de @BarackObama.

El pueblo venezolano es amigo del pueblo estadounidense. El Decreto que hoy renuevan es sólo un pretexto para justificar una agresión sin precedentes, que incluye la amenaza del uso de la fuerza, con el fin de forzar un cambio de régimen para controlar las riquezas del país
