“The United States is desperate, they can do nothing against Venezuela, and all the sanctions that the US imposes on countries, including Venezuela, are illegal and violate international law,” RIA Novosti quoted Isturis as saying.
According to him, such actions are “arbitrariness and abuse of power” by the United States not only against Venezuela, but also against Cuba.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the imposition of sanctions against six tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to Cuba.
According to the State Department, the tankers that transported oil from Venezuela to Cuba are owned by PDVSA.
We are talking about the tankers Icaro, Luisa Caceres de Arismendi, Manuela Saenz, Paramaconi, Terepaima, Yare.
