In the United States commented on the appeal of Venezuela to the Hague court

“This is absurd, so we do not pay attention to it. And adding sanctions against Rosneft Trading to the lawsuit is equally ridiculous, ”RIA Novosti quotes RIA Novosti.

According to him, this is "a stupid gesture from the side of the regime."

On February 7, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the Venezuelan airline Conviasa and a number of its aircraft.

Venezuela later filed a complaint with the Hague Tribunal regarding the sanctions Washington imposes on Caracas.
