Maduro Accuses US of Allowing CIA to Carry Out 'Terrorist' Actions in Venezuela - Tasnim News Agency

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro claims that US President Donald Trump's administration gave its approval to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to carry out 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 on Tuesday, speaking of the Trump administration, Sputnik reported.
This comes amid a series of developments that followed the capture of an alleged US spy near Venezuela's largest oil refinery earlier this month.
