Sanders: Maduro’s arrest is illegal and unconstitutional – Algerian Al-Hiwar newspaper

US Senator Bernie Sanders considered that the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during the recent US operation in Venezuela is illegal and unconstitutional, stressing the need to pass a draft resolution preventing the launch of any military operations in Venezuela without the approval of Congress.

Sanders explained that President Donald Trump has six reasons why this move is wrong, stressing that it violates international law and Congress.

Which threatens global security and allows any state or terrorist organization to justify a violent attack based on this operation.

The senator described the operation as blatant imperialism, stressing that Venezuela’s oil belongs to the Venezuelan people and not to American companies.

Any country’s rejection of a leader does not give it the right to overthrow his government.

Sanders added that Trump ran for president as a candidate for peace, according to the slogan “America First.”

Not to manage or invade another country, noting that millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck,

He should focus on improving his country’s management first instead of interfering in Venezuela.
