The US State Department is not moving from its position that Nicolas Maduro is not the legitimate leader of Venezuela.
An article in the El Nacional publication yesterday quoted the agency’s chief deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott, as saying Maduro was a “fugitive from US justice who undermines regional security and poisons Americans.”
The original interview was first published on the NTN24 news site. The comment came a day after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave Trinidad and Tobago the approval for the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) licences to begin discussions towards developing its cross-border hydrocarbons.
