CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela on Sunday rejected U.S. requests to resume cooperation in the war on drugs, insisting it has made progress despite an alleged fourfold-gain in the amount of Colombian cocaine passing through its territory.
Venezuela dismissed U.S. attempts to renew talks on drugs as “useless and inopportune,” saying U.S. officials should focus on slashing demand for drugs at home.
President Hugo Chavez suspended cooperation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in August 2005, accusing its agents of espionage.
