Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, said that the US allegations related to narcotics trafficking, democracy, and human rights were "falsehoods" and that "energy greed" was the real motivation behind the external pressure.
Speaking during a live broadcast on state television VTV, Rodriguez said, "You all know that the energy greed of the North wants the resources of our country. All the falsehoods about drug trafficking, democracy, and human rights were the excuses."
Addressing energy relations between the US and Venezuela, Rodriguez said the country is "open to energy relationships where all parties benefit, where cooperation is clearly defined in a commercial agreement."
