[PRESSTV] Venezuela has kicked out the top two US diplomatic representatives in the country in response to Washington's latest round of sanctions imposed over recent election results.
On Tuesday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered the expulsion of US charge d'affaires Todd Robinson and deputy head of mission Brian Naranjo and declared both of them "persona non grata."
"They must leave the country in 48 hours in protest and in defense of the dignity of the Venezuelan homeland... Enough of conspiracies!," he said,
Maduro made the announcement via a nationally televised speech after being officially proclaimed the winner of Sunday's election.
