US assures that Venezuela will reimburse the cost of medical aid sent by Washington
The United States assured this Saturday that although it is proud to facilitate assistance to Venezuela, the interim government of Delcy Rodríguez will reimburse the cost of the more than 6,000 kilos of priority medical supplies sent to the South American country, as well as future aid from Washington. In a message on the social network X, the State Department's Foreign Aid entity stated that the US 'is proud to facilitate the acquisition and delivery of medical supplies to the Venezuelan people, but this effort is not just charity.' 'Venezuelan interim authorities have agreed to reimburse the United States for the cost of this and any future deliveries,' stated the agency, which has framed this aid within a program for the transition in the Caribbean nation after the capture of the now deposed former president Nicolás Maduro by US forces.
