“It is an outrageous statement in the spirit of the colonial habits. Trump cannot dictate to Venezuela or Russia how to build bilateral relations, where, in which sectors and on whose territory to interact. This is nothing more than the continuing gross interference in the affairs of a sovereign state and its cooperation with other countries. The threats to use “all possible options” in order to force “Russia to leave Venezuela” are particularly outrageous. The US is again trying to impose its will with the help of the “right of force”, ignoring the “force of law”. Yes, and I agree with my colleagues, Washington should first fulfill all its promises to leave Syria before making similar demands to Russia,” said Leonid Slutskiy Slutsky Leonid Eduardovich Slutsky
