Venezuela warns US over judge’s cancelled visa
31.05.05 11.20am
CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuela may stop allowing visits by American officials after US immigration authorities cancelled the tourist visa of the Venezuelan Supreme Court president, the country’s vice president said.
Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel’s office issued the warning on Monday in a statement criticising the withdrawal this month of a US visa granted to Venezuela’s top magistrate, Omar Mora.
"A lot of Americans come here, officials and senators, and we receive them without problems," Rangel said. "But if this kind of policy continues, which attacks Venezuelan institutions and respectable citizens like the Supreme Court president, we will eventually have to adopt a similar measure."
