On the 20th, Venezuelan Vice President and Minister of Petroleum Rodriguez condemned the “theft and hijacking” of private ships carrying Venezuelan oil in international waters by the United States. Rodriguez posted a government communiqué via social media saying that this serious “act of piracy” violates international law. The model of colonialism that the US government is trying to impose on Venezuela will eventually fail. The CPC government will resort to the UN Security Council and other multilateral organizations to take corresponding action.
