U.S. fails to honor commitments and always lies, Venezuela says on state TV

Diosdado Cabello, PSUV’s first vice president, said on Venezuelan state TV that the U.S. fails to honor commitments and always lies.

He emphasized that American leaders never keep their promises, referencing past discussions between Caracas and Washington.

On Venezuelan TV, Cabello stated the US shouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs but does so because they see themselves as a powerful empire.

In a PSUV press conference, he said the US believes it can control the world and has waged war against Venezuela since Chávez’s arrival.

He doubted the White House would change its approach to Venezuela and adopt a peaceful, mutually respectful relationship.

Yet, Cabello stressed that Venezuela is peaceful and does not threaten anyone.

He also noted it’s logical and diplomatic for countries not to use embassies to attack others, but sadly, this doesn’t apply to the US.

This criticism comes amid longstanding tensions between the US and Venezuela. Venezuela has accused the US of supporting opposition forces and imposing harmful sanctions.

The US, in turn, has accused Venezuelan leaders of human rights abuses and corruption.

Both nations have a history of expelling each other’s diplomats, reflecting their strained relationship.

Efforts at dialogue have been made, but trust remains a significant issue, hindering progress towards a more stable relationship.
