Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused the American envoy of conspiring to break the house, amid tense relations with America. Maduro said that my wife was tempted to divorce.
Caracas. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has claimed that the US lured his wife Cilia Flores to divorce him. President Maduro said during a live press conference that Venezuela and Special US Representative for Iran Elliot Abrams had lured my wife that the US administration would help her unconditionally if she divorced. Maduro said, “We have always had a relationship through Donald Trump’s messengers … Elliot was also involved in this.” He said that once the American envoy offered my wife Cilia through a person that they should get a divorce from the President of Venezuela. President Maduro told that the American envoy had sent the message that “If Cilia divorces you Maduro, you will be able to travel abroad and we will give you full support”.
The President said that after this offer, Cilia looked into my eyes and hugged and said, “Never.” Maduro said, ‘This is not a novel. This is the truth. Americans think that we are corrupt and very rich. The American envoy said that you can take all your money with you. Let me tell you that relations between America and Venezuela have been very bad for the last decade.
The United States has imposed severe economic sanctions on Venezuela, alleging human rights violations and rigging of elections. George Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump have continued these restrictions. There are allegations that the US supported the failed uprising against Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chavez. Trump has also imposed restrictions on Venezuela’s oil exports.
