CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez said on Friday the United States' "insolent" reaction to the sentencing of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez had set back a recent diplomatic rapprochement between the two nations.
"With its insolent meddling, the United States has kicked the timid steps achieved towards regularizing bilateral relations," Rodriguez said via Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) in response to U.S. statements criticizing Lopez's nearly 14-year jail sentence.
