Caracas, August 7 (RHC)-- Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez denounced Wednesday that a ship containing 25 thousand tons of soya has been seized in the Panama Canal due to the U.S. blockade.  She issued an urgent call to the United Nations to take action against the "serious aggression" that prevents Venezuela from having access to food.

"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, due to the criminal blockade imposed by Donald Trump," the vice president said in a tweet.

"Venezuela calls on the UN to stop this serious aggression by Donald Trump's govt against our country, which constitutes a massive violation of the human rights of the entire Venezuelan people, by attempting to impede their right to food."
