US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it would be a very bad day for the Venezuelan regime if it attacked Guyana or ExxonMobil’s assets in the Atlantic.
He was answering a question from the media at a joint press conference in Guyana with President Irfaan Ali.
The Trump regime has taken a hard stance against Venezuelan oil and gas extraction as well as its production and sales.
The US government has threatened heavy sanctions against countries that do energy business with Nicolas Maduro’s administration.
According to Rubio, any attacks by Venezuela will not end well for the Maduro regime.
Rubio, in his introduction, declared support for Guyana from what he said was the illegitimate, narco-trafficking government in Venezuela.
The Secretary of State declared the US’s interest in working with Guyana and hailed its opportunity to work towards cheap and reliable energy.
