Venezuela's Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza addresses a press encounter at the United Nations headquarters in New York, on Aug. 25, 2017. New U.S. economic sanctions imposed on Venezuela on Friday as well as U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threat of military force against the South American country are "absurd, hostile" against a "peaceful nation," said Venezuela's Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza here on Friday.
