“No One Will Stop Us” – Venezuela’s Maduro Slams Trump’s UN Speech Which Hinted At Coup<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

During his Tuesday UN General Assembly address<\/a> President Trump held nothing back in terms of excoriating the socialist pariah state of Venezuela and leader\u00a0Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n

“Not long ago, Venezuela was one of the richest countries on Earth,”\u00a0Trump said<\/a>. “Today, socialism has bankrupted the oil-rich nation and driven its people into abject poverty.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump continued, “Virtually everywhere socialism or communism has been tried, it has produced suffering, corruption, and decay. Socialism\u2019s thirst for power leads to expansion, incursion, and oppression. All nations of the world should resist socialism and the misery that it brings to everyone.”<\/p>\n

The US president blamed Venezuela’s collapsed economy and worthless currency, which has created a humanitarian crisis resulting in some 2 million citizens fleeing the country in recent years on the\u00a0\u201cMaduro regime and its Cuban sponsors\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But a usually defiant Maduro, who didn’t attend the UN Assembly in New York for fear of his safety,\u00a0slammed the speech via Twitter, stating in Spanish<\/a>,\u00a0“The empire points to us because it knows that we are on the socialist road to economic recovery.” He shot back at Trump:\u00a0“And no one will stop us in our efforts to achieve self-sustainability.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also in response to Trump’s speech, Venezuela’s\u00a0foreign minister\u00a0Jorge Arreaza\u00a0said Venezuela was a sovereign country and will continue to exercising\u00a0the right to choose its\u00a0own path.\u00a0“It’s not the problem of the United States,” Arreaza said during a UN news conference in response to Trump’s listing a litany of the small Latin American country’s pressing problems.<\/p>\n

Maduro has further called Trump’s mention of more sanctions to come against Maduro’s wife and his inner circle\u00a0an “imperialist” intervention by “oligarchs”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
