Venezuela's vice president accused her US counterpart of "openly calling for a coup d'etat" ahead of a mass street protest announced by the opposition for Wednesday.
"Yankee go home! We won't let them interfere in the affairs of the homeland," Delcy Rodriguez said in televised remarks.
Her comments came in reaction to American Vice President Mike Pence, who had earlier posted a video on Twitter in which he branded Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro "a dictator with no legitimate claim to power."
