Venezuela Friday Offs

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blasted Donald Trump on Friday after a fresh round of US sanctions and strong condemnation of his socialist government from the US leader.

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro has designated every Friday in the months of April and May as a non-working holiday, a bid to save electricity as a prolonged drought pushes water levels to a critical threshold at hydro-generation plants.

History is only hours away from the making, with the first ever FIFA official international friendly in the country set to kick off on Friday, featuring the superstar Lionel Messi-led star-studded Argentina and a resurgent Venezuelan team.
