China, Russia to Defy US Sanctions Over Support to Venezuela

By teleSUR

February 10, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - In Beijing, the foreign ministry indicated that China is against any foreign interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela and against the application of unilateral sanctions.

The Russian government rejected on Monday the U.S. threats to impose new sanctions against several Russian companies for their cooperation with Venezuela in the oil sector.

Last week, the United States special representative for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, warned Russia that its support for Venezuela will cost them economically as Washington is looking to sanction them.

"We classify this practice as harmful, we believe that many countries suffer because of this practice, we consider it contrary to international law," Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters Monday in regards to Washington's plans.

"The United States, especially, and several other countries, unfortunately use these trade and other restrictions very frequently against third world countries, which are illegal under international law."
