Yesterday, Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro said during a broadcast on state-run VTV that he is expelling three U.S. diplomats for their alleged involvement in acts of sabotage to destabilize the South American country and they have less than 48 hours to move out of Venezuela. This were his words:
"Get out of Venezuela,"(listing several names including Kelly Keiderling a top U.S diplomat in Venezuela). "Yankee go home. Enough abuses already.".
Although according to the embassy's website: "We have seen Maduro's televised announcement but we have not received any official notification of expulsions," said a U.S. State Department spokesperson. "We completely reject the Venezuelan government's allegations of U.S. government involvement in any type of conspiracy to destabilize the Venezuela government.
These on going saga between America and Venezuela has been on since the Reigning of former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, Even before the announcement of former President Hugo Chavez's death from cancer in March, Maduro said he was expelling two U.S. Embassy officials and accused them of plotting to destabilize the country which was later denied by State Department spokesman Patrick.
The president went further to canceled his plans to travel down to New York for the U.N. General Assembly last week for fear of what he said were plots to physically harm him there.
