U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela's hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.
Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.
Why is the US concerned? Oil companies pleaded for the US to intervene when Venezuela nationalized their economy. Then Venezuela nationalized many other sectors, and the US got morw angry.
ITT: Tankies being apologists for an equally corrupt regime who obviously rigged an election.
I also rolled my eyes when I saw the headline. US don't really have much of credibility on this one. But tankie wankers think the election result is perfectly okay simply because "suck it 'Murica".
O boy this is gonna be civil. Does the United States have an interest in Venezuelas election because they have the largest oil reserves in the world? Or do they really care about the people in a foreign nation?
