In an official statement, Bolivarian authorities said the decision was taken as a result of the involvement of the government of Trinidad and Tobago in the theft of Venezuelan oil.
The authorities said the oil was taken during an incident carried out by the U.S. administration on Dec. 10, when a vessel transporting the strategic product from Venezuela was seized. The full statement follows:
“The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reports that it has obtained full knowledge of the participation of the government of Trinidad and Tobago in the theft of Venezuelan oil, committed by the U.S. administration on Dec. 10 through the assault of a vessel transporting this strategic product from Venezuela. This act of piracy constitutes a serious violation of international law and a blatant transgression of the principles of freedom of navigation and trade.
Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has revealed a hostile agenda against Venezuela since taking office, including the installation of U.S. military radars to besiege vessels transporting Venezuelan oil.
This official has turned the territory of Trinidad and Tobago into a U.S. aircraft carrier to attack Venezuela, in an unequivocal act of vassalage.
In the face of this escalation of hostilities and serious aggressions, President Nicolas Maduro previously proceeded to denounce the Framework Agreement on Energy Cooperation signed with Trinidad and Tobago.
Today, in light of this extremely serious act that seeks to blatantly steal Venezuela’s oil, the Venezuelan government has decided to immediately extinguish any contract, agreement or negotiation for the supply of natural gas to that country.
Venezuela must be respected! And it will not allow any colonial entity and its vassals to attack the country’s sacred sovereignty and its right to development. Venezuela will always prevail.”
