(Caracas) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro assured Thursday on national television that he had received a CIA agent while his country is the subject of American sanctions and that he never refrains from criticizing “American imperialism “And” gringos “.
“Every day I receive two or three delegations from all over the world […] Even people from the CIA come to see me. These days someone has come to see me. Didn’t you know that? “, He quipped.
According to information published by a flight tracking site in early December, a plane that would be “used” by the CIA would have flown to Venezuela, which then fed social networks.
“I’m not going to tell what we said to each other. They are the ones who exposed the meeting. […]. They don’t keep their word. They say “We have a secret meeting” and then they make it public, “he said, accusing James Story, the US ambassador to Venezuela (based in Colombia) of leaking the meeting. .
Caracas severed diplomatic relations with the United States in 2019 when US President Donald Trump recognized opponent Juan Guaidó as the country’s interim president. Donald Trump is notably at the origin of the sanctions against the oil country.
Washington, which has maintained strained relations with Venezuela since the presidency of Hugo Chavez (1999-2013), seeks to oust its successor Nicolas Maduro from power.
“In revenge, James Story posted the photo of the plane and all that… He’s a mean guy, a bad guy who hates Venezuela,” he added, without revealing the content of his meeting with the CIA.
