After the American action in Venezuela, Interim President Delsey Rodriguez has raised questions on the intentions of Donald Trump. He said that all America’s allegations related to drug trafficking, democracy and human rights were fake. Delsey said that the real purpose of American pressure on Venezuela is to acquire its oil reserves.

Delsey Rodriguez calls Trump’s claims false

“America has its eyes on our country’s resources,” Delsey said on Venezuelan television VTV. All Trump’s false claims about drug trafficking, democracy and human rights were just excuses. On energy relations between the US and Venezuela, he said, ‘Open to energy relations where all parties benefit. Where each other’s cooperation is clearly defined in the agreement. During this, he also acknowledged the rift in relations between the two countries.

Radicalism cannot be tolerated: Delsey

He said, ‘Our relations with America have been tainted like never before in our history.’ He announced a bill aimed at ensuring stability in the country and called on all political parties to work together. Delsey said, ‘Fundamentalists or fascists cannot be tolerated, because they have created extremely dangerous conditions for the existence of this country, that is why we have to run programs for peace and survival.’

‘US can keep an eye on Venezuela for many years’

According to the report of El Cooperante, this comment of Delcy Rodriguez came a few hours after US President Trump’s statement in which he said that Venezuela would use the revenue received from a new oil agreement to buy goods exclusively made in America.

US President Donald Trump has said that Washington can maintain surveillance on Venezuela for many years to come and will continue to extract oil from the country’s vast oil reserves. The statement signals a long-term continuation of the US role following the arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, with no clear timeline.
