Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro again taunted the Trump administration, saying the country doesn't want to be enslaved by the "gringos."
Maduro also called opposition leader Maria Corina Machado a "demonic witch" after she won the Nobel Peace Prize late last week. He made the comments during an event to mark a new anniversary of the so-called "indigenous resistance," which substitutes Columbus Day. He avoided mentioning Machado by name, calling her the "the Sayona's demonic witch," a Venezuelan folk figure, adding that "90% of the population rejects her."
