Ua teena e Nicolás Maduro, le sa avea ma peresitene o Venezuela ona moliaga i se fale fa’amasino i New York.


O Maduro ua 63 tausaga le matua, ma na pu'eina e fitafita a le militari a Amerika i lona fale i le taulaga o Caracas i Venezuela ma ‘ave faamalosia ai i Amerika.

O loo molia o ia i le fe’avea’ia o vaila’au faasāina e aofia ai le cocaine, ma le umia fa’asolitulafono o ‘a’upega o taua.

I lana tali na faia e auala i se faamatala'upu i le gagana Espaniola, na te’ena ai e Maduro ona moliaga ma ia ta'ua o loo avea pea o ia ma peresitene o Venezuela

Na molia ai foi le to’alua o Maduro, le tinā o Cilia Flores, ma na ia tali foi e tete’e i ona moliaga.

Ua fa’atonuina i la’ua e toe tula'i e tali i o la moliaga i le Aso 17 o Mati.

E tele ina le molia ao o malo i ni moliaga fa’asolitulafono, peita’i na fa’aalia e le loia mo le matagaluega o le puipuiga i Amerika, Ilan Katz, e le o amana’iaina e Amerika Nicolas Maduro o se ao o le malo Venezuela.

"So, under this logic, by which certain criminal organisations, in this case Cartel de los Soles in Venezuela, has been deemed a terrorist organisation, the viewpoint is we are not looking at the president of Venezuela, we are looking at a terrorist under US law and therefore we can detain him whenever or wherever we can."

I lumafale o le nofoaga saisai le Brooklyn Detention Centre lea o loo saisaia ai Maduro ma lona to’alua, na faia ai se savali tete’e, ma ta’ua ai e se tasi na auai, o le osofa’iga ma le saisaia o Nicolas Maduro, e le’i faia mo le saogalemū ma le manuia o tagatanu’u Venezuela, ae na faia i le matape’ap’ea i le suau’u ma puna’oa fa’anatura o Venezuela.

"You know, I'm here because I think it's outrageous what the US government did in Venezuela. Whatever you may think of the Maduro government, that's not the issue. But the US government has no right to go into a sovereign country and basically openly say, ‘We're going to take the oil, we're going to take the gold, we're going to exploit the resources.’ This has nothing to do with defending the working people of Venezuela."

I le maota o le Senate i Amerika, na saunoa le Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer o le Democrats, o se tulaga e matuā lamatia ai le filemū o le lalolagi pe a taunu’u ona faia e Donald Trump i atunu’u o Colombia ma Greenland ni faiga fa’amalosi e pei ona ia faia i Venezuela.

"The chaos Donald Trump has engendered in Venezuela... and if Donald Trump tries to do to Colombia and Greenland what he did in Venezuela, the disasters and consequences could compound to be exponential, as bad as Venezuela alone was going to be."
