Venezuela\u2019s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has denounced what state media is describing as a ship seizure by the US<\/strong> in the Panama Canal Wednesday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The ship is reportedly packed with 25 thousands tons of Soya and was entering the narrow vital central America waterway, when its progress was halted in an event which Maduro government officials have condemned as a “serious aggression” that impedes the country’s “right to food”.<\/p>\n

Though in the initial hours of Wednesday’s allegation major international media outlets had yet to confirm the claim, Rodriguez tweeted a statement, saying, “Venezuela denounces before the world that a boat that holds 25 thousand tons of Soya, for food production in our country, has been seized in the Panama Canal<\/em>, due to the criminal blockade imposed by Donald Trump<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n
