Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil said the United States was interfering "in matters that do not concern them" in response to criticism over new arrests of activists linked to the opposition campaign this week.
Gil posted a short statement on his X account, formerly Twitter, in response to a message released by the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Brian Nichols, in which he rejected the detentions of activists as the presidential elections get close.
