CARACAS, VENEZUELA — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has called for an investigation into Roman Catholic priests he says have made comments critical of the government.
Maduro said in an address Monday that church officials may have committed hate crimes, an accusation he frequently levels at government critics.
He called on the pro-government chief prosecutor and Supreme Court to investigate.
Venezuela sits atop the world's largest oil reserves but is enduring an economic after nearly two decades of socialist rule.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday gave the Iran nuclear deal a final reprieve but warned European allies and Congress they had to work with him to “fix the terrible flaws” of the pact or face U.S. withdrawal.
Trump said he would waive sanctions against Iran lifted as part of the deal but only as a “last chance” and would not do so again. The ultimatum puts pressure on Europeans - key backers and parties to the 2015 international agreement – to satisfy Trump, who has called the deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program “the worst ever.”
