The United States announced on Thursday, it would give 20 million dollars in ''humanitarian assistance'' to the Venezuelan population, while the South Amnerican government denounces Washington's attempts to promote violence and a coup d''état.

A day after the US president, Donald Trump, recognized as president 'in charge' of the South American nation to Juan Guaido, deputy of the National Assembly declared in contempt by the Supreme Court, ignoring the constitutional Government of Nicolás Maduro, the American Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, announced that sum.

The United States, which imposes economic sanctions on Venezuela, pressures the regional nations to join its campaign of hostility against Caracas and is denounced for its attempts to promote destabilization and subversion in that territory, refers to the money as destined to 'cope with the severe shortages of food and medicines'.

Without referring to any of the punishments applied by Washington unilaterally to hit the economy of the South American nation, a note from the State Department mentions the existence of a political and economic crisis of which it blames the Maduro Government.

The National Assembly of Venezuela has highlighted the need for immediate international humanitarian assistance. In response, the United States is ready to provide emergency assistance, adds the text on the Parliament declared without a valid board of directors by the Supreme Court of Justice.

As a continuation of the interventionist stance repeatedly condemned by Caracas, the State Department said to ask the Venezuelan authorities 'to immediately implement the economic and political reforms necessary to put an end to hyperinflation, shortages of supplies and corruption.'

This announcement also comes a day after Pompeo challenged the Venezuelan president's decision to break diplomatic relations with the United States as a result of Washington's interventionism.

Maduro denounced on Wednesday that the Donald Trump administration is conducting an operation to impose a coup d'état with a puppet government and gave 72 hours to the staff of the US embassy to leave their country.

In response, Pompeo issued a statement in which it states that the United States maintains diplomatic relations with Venezuela and will carry them out 'through the government of interim President Guaido.'

Since the beginning of this month, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry warned about the destabilizing actions of the United States to promote the ignorance of the legitimate and democratic institutions of the Latin American territory in an attempted coup d'état.

Declassified documents, testimonies of officials and journalistic investigations confirm the interest of the northern nation to regain control over the energy and mineral resources that belong exclusively to the people, the institution said in a statement.
