Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro claims that US President Donald Trump’s administration approved of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) recent “covert and terrorist operations” against an array of targets in the country.

“They have given the CIA the green light to come with direct agents to covert and terrorist operations against oil, electricity, military, electoral targets and other dirty covert actions like those used by the CIA,” he told state television in Spanish, speaking of the Trump administration.  

Maduro also reiterated accusations against the US Drug Enforcement Administration, which he claims have been sent by the White House to attack Venezeula and overthrow Caracas. 

“It has placed the DEA as the operator agency of the attack against Venezuela, what is new today is not that the DEA is involved with the Colombian drug trafficking group to attack Venezuela, the new thing is that they have approved that the CIA get involved in operations terrorist attacks against Venezuela,” he stated.
