@MariaCorinaYA o rozhodnutí USA ponechať Madurových poručíkov na svojich miestach: „Ide o kartel a spravodlivosť. Ide o zločineckú štruktúru, ktorou je režim a mandát venezuelského ľudu. Som len jedným členom obrovského hnutia miliónov Venezuelčanov, ktorí sa rozhodli a sú odhodlaní byť slobodní. A nepochybujem o tom, že @POTUS, jeho administratíva a ľud USA podporujú demokraciu, spravodlivosť a mandát venezuelského ľudu. Nemám o tom absolútne žiadne pochybnosti."
