VENEZUELA PANAMA CANAL

Maduro insults Panama’s foreign minister and says he is "incapable of defending" the Canal

Caracas, Feb 4 (EFE) - Nicolas Maduro - sworn in by the pro-Chavista National Assembly (AN) for a third term in Venezuela after his contested re-election last July - criticized Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Martinez-Acha on Tuesday, stating that he is "incapable of defending" the Panama Canal, which US President Donald Trump has threatened to "take back."

Camera: Ivan Cardenas.

Statements from Nicolas Maduro, president of Venezuela.

Translation:

""And they said it, and there were fools who believed it. Do you remember the fool, the Panamanian Foreign Minister, who declared on January 8 that 'great things would happen in Venezuela that would shake the world'? Where is that fool now? What’s the name of the fool, the Panamanian Foreign Minister? The one who lowered his pants in front of Marco Rubio when he visited him recently? And he is not even capable of defending the Panama Canal."
