<p>Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro spoke out against a
resolution calling on U.S. President Donald Trump to
heighten sanctions on Venezuela for alleged “human
rights abuses,” warning against rising "fascism" in the
White House and Europe.</p>
<p>The resolution, which calls on the Organization of
American States, OAS, to suspend Venezuela, was
unanimously passed by the U.S. Senate on Wednesday. The
House of Representatives is expected to review the bill
in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>“In spite of U.S. aggressions, our people are united in
saying ‘you must respect Venezuela,’” Maduro said
Wednesday during a government summit in Cumana.</p>
<p>“We will never be anyone’s colony ever again.”</p>
<p>The resolution also calls on Trump to instruct federal
agencies to hold Venezuelan officials accountable for
alleged “violations of U.S. law.”</p>
<p>Moreover, it demands that the Bolivarian government
decentralize its separation of powers while allowing the
opposition-controlled National Assembly to pass
legislation that opposes the ruling United Socialist
Party of Venezuela.</p>
<p>Senators who drafted the controversial bill claim it’s
intended to “strengthen the rule of law” while combating
so-called “impunity and public corruption.” But for
Maduro and the Bolivarian Revolution, the proposed
legislation is yet another example of U.S. hegemony in
Latin America.</p>
<p>Speaking out against the bill and U.S. aggression
against Venezuela, Maduro said he thinks things will get
worse under Trump, whom he compared to German fascist
leader Adolf Hitler. The Venezuelan head of state said
Trump’s “racist and xenophobic” policies are “similar to
those of Hitler and the fascists.”</p>
<p>Maduro also said Trump’s “dangerous” political tendency
is spreading across North America and Europe.</p>
<p>“I warn the whole world about the emergence of this
dangerous segregationist, racist and xenophobic
political current that threatens to attack the peoples
of the world, to divide humanity more, and to create
more wars around the world,” Maduro said, HispanTV
reports.</p>
<p>“It’s a band of extremists who are taking over power in
the most important countries of the so-called developed
world ... which, like Hitler, creates the supremacy of
the white European race over the rest of the peoples of
the world. It's worrying.”</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the U.S. government added
Venezuelan Vice President Tareck El Aissami to its list
of <a

Venezuelan officials</a> based on unsubstantiated drug
trafficking allegations.</p>
<p>The targeting of El Aissami is part of the U.S. “regime
change” policy toward Venezuela that goes back nearly
two decades. It began shortly after the late President
Hugo Chavez was first elected in 1998.</p>
