Clearly infuriated by the Obama administration’s decision to declare Venezuela an “extraordinary threat to national security,” President Nicolás Maduro demanded that Washington “show evidence” of how Venezuela threatens the US.

“We demand, via all global diplomatic channels, that President Obama rectify and repeal the immoral decree declaring Venezuela a threat to the United States,” Maduro said during a speech at an “anti-imperialist march” in the capital city of Caracas, where he nearly shouted out of anger.

Latin American leaders are largely lining up to support Maduro, saying the US overstepped its bounds and meddled in regional affairs it has no business being involved in.

“This is an unacceptable attack on Venezuela’s sovereignty,” said Ecuadorian officials, while Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said it was ridiculous to think that Venezuela could pose a threat to such a superpower. “It’s absolutely incredible to think that Venezuela is the problem. It’s absurd and unjustified,” she said.

Cuba called Washington’s action as “arbitrary and aggressive,” while the Bolivian government said Obama’s executive order was “interventionist” and reminded them of a dictatorship.

Maduro went on to accuse the Obama administration of trying to overthrow the Venezuelan government, which he reiterated was “democratically elected” while the US is “an imperialist police state.”
