He went on to say, however, that the Venezuelan people cannot be defeated by any empire today.
"Our people have rejected the aggression of the imperialist US government. It has been a wave of courage because no empire... has been born yet that can twist the arm and defeat the Venezuelan people," Maduro added.
The statements come after US President Barack Obama
