The rupture of the diplomatic relations happened after the statement of the Venezuelan Head of State against the administration of Donald Trump which directs a coup operation in Venezuela. It should be noted that the Bolivarian Government, led by President Nicolás Maduro Moros made that decision not to continue with the initiative to install an office of interests in both countries, 45 days after the South American country broke relations with Washington, the past 23 January, when the deputy Juan Guaidó, self-proclaimed president, was immediately recognized by the US government.Informamos que respetando la decisión soberana del Presidente @NicolasMaduro y la Convención de Viena sobre Relaciones Diplomáticas, hoy, en el lapso otorgado, la Embajada de EEUU en Venezuela retiró TODO su personal estadounidense diplomático, consular y administrativo.
