247, with AVN - Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned what he called a double standard by the United States government in providing "humanitarian aid" to Venezuela while maintaining an economic and financial blockade against the country, which hinders the acquisition of food and medicine.

"With double standards, the US announces 'humanitarian aid' to the people of Venezuela after economically suffocating the brother country with abusive and illegal sanctions and confiscations. The US destroys the principle of international law of 'humanitarian aid' by carrying out coup-like actions," Morales said on Twitter.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has also denounced in various forums that the US "humanitarian aid" to Venezuela is a manipulation to justify intervention in the country.

Since last January, the United States has intensified its international siege against Venezuela. US President Donald Trump and his spokespeople support coup attempts and reaffirm threats of military intervention against the South American country.
