The United States must explain its actions in Venezuela to the world, a German government spokesperson said on Monday.


The U.S. must "explain to the international community on what basis the actions we have witnessed over the last few days should be judged, and this has not yet happened," a government spokesperson said at a regular news conference on Monday.
