US officials told to get out of Venezuela for plotting coup against newly re-elected President Nicolas Maduro
VENEZUELA has given two top US diplomats 48 hours to leave the country after they were accused of plotting a coup.
Newly re-elected President Nicolas Maduro told Todd Robinson and Brian Naranjo they were being expelled as a result of Washington’s interventionist policies, which he said were aimed at undermining Venezuela’s sovereignty.
He said he had evidence of Mr Robinson’s involvement in a “military conspiracy” against Venezuela, with the US embassy being used as a base to interfere in military, economic and political issues in an attempt to destabilise the country.
