Venezuela Rejects US Willigness To Keep Its Arbitrary Sanctions
Venezuela’s Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil rejected the stance assumed by the U.S. State Department, which said that it would keep the sanctions against this South American country until the Bolivarian government guarantees a “return of democracy”.
“The application of this policy represents a crime against humanity,” Gil tweeted, stressing that the U.S. objective of overthrowing President Nicolas Maduro has failed.
“We thought that the U.S. was going to lift the sanctions after their failure. This, however, has not been the case,” he said, pointing out his people’s will of overcoming the imperialist vileness.
President Maduro asked President Joe Biden to lift all sanctions applied against Venezuela, arguing that these policies are illicit and injustice: “Imperialism and its extremist lackeys stole us about US$411 million a day over the last eight years through the coercive policies applied against us,” the Venezuelan president recalled.
