Maduro defiant after US threatens to embargo counrty's oil
VENEZUELA’S president and foreign minister have vowed to defend their country’s freedom after Washington threatened an oil embargo.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made the threat against imports and refining of Caracas’s dominant export yesterday as he visited the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires on the latest leg of his Latin American and Caribbean tour.
He said Washington wants “free, fair and verifiable” presidential elections, which Venezuela’s new national constituent assembly has called for April.
