Maduro: Trump ordered me killed

The president of Venezuela stressed that no arrest warrant has been issued so far

"US President Donald Trump has ordered the Colombian government and the mafia to kill me," Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said in an interview with Russia's state-run Sputnik news agency.

"If something happens to me one day, Donald Trump and Colombian President Ivan Duque will be responsible," the Venezuelan president added in an interview broadcast today.

He reiterated that he was well protected, commenting on the possibility of a new attempt on his life. "I am always protected by the people of Venezuela, we have a good intelligence service," he said.

No arrest warrant has been issued for Guido
The president of Venezuela stressed that no arrest warrant has been issued so far against the president of the National Assembly, Juan Guido, who declared himself interim president of the country last week.

"As far as I know, this measure has not been taken so far. Let us wait for the internal constitutional and judicial proceedings to be completed, to see the results. "We will not rush, we will wait," said the Venezuelan president.

For Maduro, the issue is constitutional and is left to the justice of Venezuela.

"As head of state, I have the view that a coup attempt is being made, in violation of the Constitution. But this is just the opinion of the head of state. The Advocate General must act, and he has already begun to act, the Supreme Court must act, and it is already acting. "Whatever the prosecutor and the courts decide will be implemented by the Venezuelan judiciary," Maduro said.

Venezuela's Supreme Court (TSJ) on Tuesday banned 35-year-old Guido, the speaker of the National Assembly - the only opposition-controlled institution in the country - from leaving the country, and froze his bank accounts and assets. investigation against him for his recent actions.
