President Nicolas Maduro ordered the expulsion of the top US diplomat in Venezuela following a new round of sanctions imposed by Washington over his re-election.
Maduro announced the move in a nationally televised
speech on Tuesday May 22,2018 after being officially proclaimed the winner of
Sunday's election.
"The empire doesn't dominate us here," Maduro said,
giving charge d'affaires Todd Robinson and his deputy Brian Naranjo 48
hours to leave the country. "We've had enough of your conspiring."
He accused the pair of trying to sabotage Venezuela's presidential election by pressuring several anti-government presidential candidates not to compete in the race. Maduro referred to Naranjo as the head of the CIA in Venezuela
