'Hands off Venezuela, immediately!' Maduro address Trump

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused Washington of organising a coup in the Latin American nation, stating that Caracas was severing diplomatic ties with Washington and ordering US diplomats to leave the country amid the opposition's refusal to recognise last year's election.
Nicolas Maduro has addressed US President Donald Trump in English demanding to leave Venezuela alone during a speech in front of Venezuelan diplomats who recently returned from the US, saying "hands off Venezuela, immediately!"

"Trump, you are responsible for any violence that may occur in Venezuela, it is your responsibility… The blood that can spill in Venezuela is on your hands, President Donald Trump", Maduro stated.
