Delcy Rodríguez urged Donald Trump to lift blockade on Venezuela

Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to immediately end the country's economic blockade, saying that the entire Venezuelan people unanimously oppose the sanctions that, she claimed, illegally restrict the development of both the public and private sectors of the economy. Rodríguez emphasized that Venezuela seeks to maintain respectful relations with the United States through diplomatic channels and called on Trump to listen to the voice of the people, who want to live in a country free from restrictions. As part of the second phase of the National Pilgrimage — a mass protest action against the sanctions combining religious and political elements — she also urged all citizens to unite and continue the fight to lift the restrictive measures, ensuring peace and stability in Venezuela.
