Venezuela has 'never considered' becoming 51st US state: Acting president

Venezuela has "never" contemplated becoming the 51st U.S. state, as suggested by U.S. President Donald Trump following the capture of deposed leader Nicolas Maduro, the country's acting president said on Monday.

"That would never have been considered, because if there is one thing we Venezuelan men and women have, it is that we love our independence process, we love our heroes and heroines of independence," Delcy Rodriguez told reporters as she left a hearing at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
