The minister denounced the U.S. for its constant interventions and 
threats against Nicolas Maduro who was re-elected as president with a 
democratic vote in 2018 with 67 percent of the vote.

"It is striking to say that the U.S. government is not behind the coup 
attempt in Venezuela — it is AHEAD of it, on the vanguard, 
without any masks, or pretense. In Washington, they openly designed and 
executed the plan, giving orders to their governments and satellite 
actors around the world," Arreaza wrote on Twitter.

    Llama la atención que el gobierno de EEUU no esté detrás del intento
    de golpe de Estado en Venezuela: está DELANTE, a la vanguardia, sin
    máscaras, ni disimulo. En Washington diseñaron y ejecutan
    abiertamente el plan, dando órdenes a sus gobiernos y actores
    satélite en el mundo

the president of the National Assembly, a body that has no legal 
authority since it is considered to be in judicial contempt, 
swore himself as president Wednesday morning. After this event, U.S. 
President Donald Trump recognized the illegal self-proclaimed president. 
The same was done by the Secretary General of the Organization of 
American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, who has instigated attacks against 
Venezuela and his government.

Following the U.S.' lead, several Latin American countries like Brazil, 
Colombia, and Ecuador recognized the usurper as the president.

On Wednesday, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice 
(TSJ) urged the Prosecutor's Office to determine the responsibilities of 
the members of the National Assembly (AN), in contempt, for the 
usurping the powers of the executive.

Maduro, in response to the U.S., broke all diplomatic and political 
relations with the Donald Trump

government and gave U.S. officials 72 hours to leave the country.

Meanwhile, countries like Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Mexico, Russia, 
Turkey, and China came out in support of the legitimate President of 
Venezuela Nicolas Maduro.
