Venezuela’s defence minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has denounced US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a naval blockade targeting Venezuelan oil shipments, calling the move ‘delusional’ and ‘incoherent.’
Speaking alongside Venezuela’s high military command, Padrino Lopez said Trump’s claims that Venezuelans had stolen their own oil exposed what he described as the true intentions behind US policy.
The comments came after Washington designated Venezuela’s government a foreign terrorist organization and signaled tougher measures against the country’s oil sector.
