The document was approved unanimously by the constituents during the ordinary session led by the president of the ANC, Diosdado Cabello, from the Hemicycle of the Federal Legislative Palace, in Caracas.
In the text, read by the secretary of the entity, Fidel Vásquez, the deputies of the plenipotentiary repudiated that the US government headed by Donald Trump wants to meddle in the internal affairs of other nations, as well as the imperial threats and the illegal financial blockade of which Venezuela is the object.
«Considering that the enemies of peace and independence of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela under the direct action and promotion of the US government have developed an unprecedented diplomatic siege in our history, adding to this the actions of illegal financial and economic blockade and immoral against our country», says the agreement.

Therefore, the members of the ANC agreed as a first point, to categorically reject the new interventionist plans of the US government, «whose purpose is to sow death and destruction in our homeland by our decision to follow the peaceful, democratic and constitutional way to build the political system that has as its only destination the interest and welfare of Venezuelans».
