Venezuela Maduro: Maduro and Bbc Washington

venezuela maduro: Maduro, who faces a challenge to his authority back home from opposition leader Juan Guaido, said the gold is legally Venezuela's, it belongs to the Central Bank of Venezuela, according to The Japan Times. Maduro says the U.S. has frozen 10 billion in Venezuelan accounts through its sanctions. The socialist leader told the BBC, according to a transcript made public Tuesday, that his country may have gold reserves weighing 80 tons or more deposited at the Bank of England. Washington has said it will turn over control of those resources to Guaido once Maduro has been removed from power. Send a convoy with the 80 tons of gold. They should send a convoy with the dollars they've stolen from us, said Maduro, who claims that aid would be a pretext to a foreign intervention. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
