Syria condemned the seizure of Maduro’s plane by the United States

According to RCO News Agency, the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Syria states: The Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemns the seizure of the plane of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the Dominican Republic by the United States and its transfer to the state of Florida.

According to the SANA News agency, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs added: Syria emphasizes that this US behavior is an international bandit operation and a clear violation of the fundamental principles and rules of international law, as well as an attack on the sovereignty of countries.

This ministry emphasized: The government of the Syrian Arab Republic once again declares its support to the Bolivarian government and nation of Venezuela against the arrogance of the United States and the efforts of the West to interfere in the internal affairs of this country.

Previously, CNN reported in an exclusive news on Monday evening (September 12) that the United States seized the plane after claiming that the purchase of Nicolas Maduro’s plane was a violation of American sanctions. The US moved the plane to Florida on Monday, according to two US officials.

This is the latest development in the cold relations between Washington and Caracas, and the seizure of this plane in the Dominican Republic shows the escalation of tension between the two countries. The United States, on the other hand, will continue to investigate what it sees as corrupt practices by the Venezuelan government.

The plane has been described by officials as the Venezuelan equivalent of Air Force One and has been used by Maduro on previous visits around the world.
