Dominican⁤ Republic’s Stance on Venezuelan Government Plane

Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader announced on‍ Friday that ​he no longer has a legal notice regarding another ⁢plane belonging to the Venezuelan Government on the⁢ Caribbean island.

Recently, the Dominican Republic‌ handed over ‍a ​plane used by Venezuelan⁤ President Nicolás Maduro to the United States. The plane had been in the country⁤ since May ⁤for maintenance issues,⁣ which Washington claimed was ⁢within‍ the framework ⁢of sanctions imposed ​on Caracas.

US ⁣Secretary of State Antony ‌Blinken, who is⁤ visiting ⁣Santo ‌Domingo, stated, “If we ‍find⁣ that crimes have been committed, ⁣we will act.⁢ That’s what⁣ we did, and that’s‍ what we will continue to do. We ‍have complied with our sanctions and will⁣ continue to do⁤ so ⁤when appropriate.”

Addressing Venezuela’s Political Situation

Abinader and Blinken discussed Venezuela’s political situation following‍ the ‌July 28 elections.

Abinader expressed concern over the arrest warrant against opposition leader Edmundo González ⁤Urrutia, advocating for a “hemispheric response” coordinated with the United Nations.
