Reference News Network, December 23 report: According to AFP, on December 23, Venezuelan President Maduro responded to US President Trump, who had ordered the US Navy to block the oil resources of this South American country. Maduro said that the US president "would be better off" focusing on domestic issues rather than threatening Venezuela.
In a speech broadcast on public television, Maduro said: "If President Trump focused on domestic issues, he would be more popular in the United States and in the world. If he focused on economic and social issues, his domestic popularity would be higher. If he focused on managing America's own problems, he would be more popular in the world."
Previously, Trump stated that it would be "wise" for the Venezuelan president Maduro to step down voluntarily.
